About the OiO Network - oionet - 07-03-2022

Across the world, there are countless scores of volunteers, and some paid individuals, who sit quietly near the ice and meticulously monitor and record the real-time actions on the ice that translate into statistics providing hockey players, coaches, and managers with a ready-reference for the quality of play.

The OiO Network has been established to provide these individuals with a community of practice where everyone can share, learn, and grow individually, as an organization, and as a whole for the great game of hockey.

OiO Network is the passion-child of two volunteer off-ice officials in New Mexico, USA who established a group of OiO's to work the NAHL's New Mexico Ice Wolves home games. After 3 years of cobbling together an organization based on limited information available, the duo decided to reach out to other teams in the NAHL and see if there was interest in creating a networking group where we could learn from each other, help solve common issues, and work together to improve off-ice officiating in our circles of influence.

While the interactions between OiO organizers on the OiO Network are public, the group is a closed group -- meaning, we welcome everyone, but you can't just create an account. To be added to the group you'll have to send the group organizers a request to join and be approved before you can post, access our shared resources, or participate in our forum discussions.

We're excited to see where the OiO Network goes! Thanks for joining in!
