Ask hockey fans the primary job of a hockey official, and the answer will probably be, "Call penalties, offsides, and icings." However, the skills required to successfully officiate hockey go deeper and are more detailed than just making the call.
 
The skills of a hockey official are developed and pursued through study, feedback, practice, and rule review. A well-rounded toolbox of skills and development strategies are integral to building a reliable and resilient hockey official.
 
In How to Referee Hockey: The Quiz Book, author Mitchell Jeffrey walks the reader through the skills of a hockey official with 468 questions, ranging from multiple choice to fill in the blank to true and false. Ultimately, The Quiz Book will solidify the readers' learning of how to use positioning to stay out of the way and to see the play, procedures to work with your colleagues and manage stoppages, and game management to reduce the risk of incidents and respond when they do occur.
