Timekeepers play a crucial role in scoring each game, managing the official game clock and recording game details. They work in conjunction with on-ice officials and off-ice officials and coaches to ensure each game runs smoothly and is recorded accurately.

This role is NOT to be taken lightly as games can not be played without a timekeeper present.

Key roles and responsibilities

  • Starting and stopping the game clock as instructed by the referees.
  • Signaling the end of each period and the game.
  • Consulting the referee for final decisions in any time disputes.

2. Recording Game Data:

  • Accurately documenting the start and finish time of the game, including actual playing time.
  • Recording goals, assists, and penalties as instructed by the referees.
  • Tracking and communicating information about penalties to the referee, such as a player receiving a second misconduct penalty or a third stick infraction.

3. Pre-game and Post-game Duties:

  • Arriving at the arena well before the game to prepare.
  • Checking and setting up the game clock and Ipads or paper game sheets.
  • Ensuring game sheets (electronic or paper) are properly filled out and signed by team officials and referees.

4. Other Important Details:

  • Must be a minimum of 12 years old and be able to work independantly without the assistance of parents.
  • Must have reliable transportation or reliable means of getting to the arena on time to avoid delay of games.
  • Having a strong knowledge of the rules, especially those pertaining to off-ice officials is recommended.
  • Being familiar with the arena's clock and public address system is an asset.
  • Maintaining a neutral stance and refraining from cheering or coaching during the game.
  • Assisting on-ice officials with administrative tasks as needed.
  • Reporting any issues or inappropriate behavior to the referee.
  • PLEASE NOTE ***Cell phones are to be put away while working.
  • Timekeepers will be paid $15/game
