NORTHEAST HOCKEY OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION
Welcome to the NEHOA Website!
Welcome to the World Wide Web home of the Northeast Hockey Officials Association (NEHOA). As our name suggests, we are a local ice-hockey officials association based in northeastern Minnesota.

All officials that are members of the NEHOA are USA Hockey certified and registered with the Minnesota Hockey Officials Association (MHOA).

As the sole youth hockey officials association in Minnesota Hockey's District 11, we perform a unique task. That is, we are responsible for providing referees for youth games in the communities of Carlton, Cloquet, Duluth, Hermantown, Moose Lake, Proctor, and Silver Bay. In any given year we provide officials at a minimum of 2,200 games!

We believe strongly in the advancement of officials through the entire USA Hockey program and beyond. Many of our officials also work in the Minnesota State High School League. Several of our officials have made it to the USHL and WCHA, too.

We support development, sponsor our officials, and send them to training events such as Minnesota Hockey Officials camp, district officiating seminars, regional camps, national camps, and instructor's camp. We are truly blessed to be able to provide such "top-notch" officials with advanced training.
