Welcome to the online home of the Ice Hockey Officials of Northern Connecticut (IHONC). The purpose of IHONC is simple: to provide qualified USA Hockey registered officials to youth and adult ice hockey programs in northern Connecticut. IHONC attempts to provide officials who are best suited to the level of each game. IHONC takes an active approach to continually improve the product we put on the ice. IHONC is not interested in just “covering” games. We want to develop our officials and provide a quality service to our customers. In addition to the online resources you will find on this site, IHONC holds general membership meetings on a monthly basis to provide training (rules, positioning, game management etc), discuss general information and cover any issues that may arise throughout the season. We invite you to explore our site and consider becoming a member of one of the most respected USA Hockey officiating organizations in the country.
