Lewiston-Auburn Referees Association

We are an association of Ice hockey officials that help supply officials to all youth hockey games in the Lewiston/Auburn area. We collect fees from youth hockey organizations and distribute these same funds to the officials that work games. We also have funds from prior years that are used as a scholarship to send players to hockey camps. We also started a new scholarship fund in the name of one of our deceased members. This new scholarship will be used to offset expenses for new first time officials and may also be used to send a senior official to a more advanced camp in USA Hockey.

We are a local association that recruits, trains and mentors youth and adult ice hockey officials for USA Hockey. We typically deal with anywhere from 2-4 leagues or organizations that run tournaments in the local area ice rinks. We collect game fees from the leagues and pay our members based on the games that they are assigned. We use Arbiter Sports to assign and distribute funds. 1099's are distributed from this system to all officials earning more than $600 for the calendar year. The company name is ArbiterPay and their TIN is XXX-XX-XXXX. In the past, we ran a charity golf tournament that generate $ which we use to hand out scholarships to several players in the local youth leagues so they can attend hockey schools / clinics during the off season.
