Exposure at our Officials Development Camps give participants the training, support, and exposure they need to access next level opportunities from the BCEHL, CSSHL, BCHL, WHL, and beyond!
We offer 2 weeks of co-ed Officials Development Camps open to committed officials ages 15+. Programming in both camps is identical and led by 1900+ NHL game veteran and Lead Officials Instructor, Brad Lazarowich. Much of the learning takes place through implementation of concepts, practice, and real time feedback during live games.
One of the highlights of attending our Officials Development Camps is the opportunity to learn from one of the most experienced and knowledgeable officials in the sport of hockey in Brad Lazarowich.
Brad is one of the longest-serving officials in NHL history. He began officiating in the NHL in 1986 and worked 1,971 games before retiring in 1986. His career highlights include:
Since retiring from the NHL, Brad has continued in his work with hockey officiating, now helping in the development and oversight of the next generation of talent. His current roles in the sport include:
We look forward to welcoming back Brad Lazarowich to West Coast Prep Camp in 2023. If you are an official looking to further your skills and experience in the sport, there is no better person to learn from.
There is no other officiating development camp opportunity better than the West Coast Hockey Prep Camp that we know of. Officials dedicated to the game will gain experience, networking, a community, and opportunities to officiate at higher levels through their participation at camp.
The West Coast Hockey Prep Camp is a life changing experience for all of us. The planning starts the day the last camp ends. We hope you will join us. Time, and space, is running out. What’s holding you back?
