Founded in 1951, the ice hockey referees' association trains new referees and officials annually. Members officiate from junior levels through Liiga to international matches. Officials also provide timekeeping and statistics from U18 SM level upwards.
Teams can obtain rules courses, while team parents can attend officials' training. A referee course for former players is run with the Finnish Ice Hockey Association.
