This past weekend, November 3-5, 2023 the 2nd Annual NOHA Officials Program of Excellence weekend was hosted at the Big Nickel AAA Hockey Tournament in Sudbury, Ontario.
 The NOHA hosted 14 officials from all across Northern Ontario to provide a developmental experience of education and sharing rooted in the Hockey Canada Officiating Pathway.
 Officials attended classroom sessions featuring instructors Glen Campbell (NOHA Director of Officials), Ken Cox (OHL Officiating Manager), Danny McCourt (NOJHL Officiating Coach). Dan Hannoomansingh from Hockey Canada spoke to the officials virtually.
 On the ice, invitees had the opportunity to officiate at the highest levels of AAA hockey, and received on-ice supervision, with exposure for future events such as the Hockey Canada Ontario Region OPoE.
 The NOHA would like to thank our valued instructors and speakers, as well as the Big Nickel AAA tournament committee for a fantastic opportunity.
