Wisconsin Hockey Officials Association
You must be registered with the Wisconsin Hockey Officials Association (WHOA) to be a referee.
Becoming an official requires multiple steps. In an effort to assist new and returning officials, WHOA created a best practice registration instruction page. It is strongly recommended ALL officials review this material prior to beginning their registration process.
