A huge shout-out to Addison for officiating her first game! 🏒 With partner Stuart Normington by her side and Black Jacket official Dave Ferwerda offering guidance, Addison jumped into her debut with a strong team around her. Congrats, Addison!

Starting this weekend, you may see a DCHOA official wearing a black jacket on the ice alongside another official — this is a mentor providing real-time coaching and support to a new official. If you have questions, please contact your association president for more information.
