They are the third team on the ice, and are an often-overlooked part of Canada’s game. But the officials play an important role – without them, there would be no hockey. One of the biggest challenges facing Canadian hockey today is the recruitment and retention of officials; how to bring new ones into the game, and keep the ones already involved. Hockey Canada Frequency takes ‘two minutes’ and takes a look at the role the official plays in today’s game, and what steps are being taken to ensure the best officials are identified.

Guests include:
Todd Anderson – manager of officiating, Hockey Canada
Jonathan Toews – forward, Team Canada
