The Orientation package contains:
This group originated in the late 60's early 70's by a group of parents of youth hockey players that needed officials for their children's hockey games. This group of dedicated parents (6 of them, headed by Fred Lahey and Dick Flint) formed a non-profit organization and officiated games at the only 2 rinks in the area at the time (Millbrook, and Trinity Pawling). The group was affiliated with AHAUS (American Hockey Association of the United States). AHAUS is now known as USA Hockey. Today our ranks include officials from around the Dutchess, Orange, Ulster, Putnam, and Rockland Counties New York area, ranging in age from 11 years old to 40 'something' . Our levels range from 1 to 4 with several of our members qualified as instructors and/or evaluators. Although none of the original members are still active they are remembered fondly by some of our more experienced officials who are still active.
