If you're a hockey assignor, your job is part scheduler, part problem-solver, and part crisis manager. Between crew changes, rink logistics, skill level pairings, and back-to-back assignments on tight ice time windows, there’s no room for inefficiency.
The right software can make or break your season. You don’t just need a scheduling tool — you need a system built to handle the real-world challenges of assigning hockey referees.
That’s exactly what Refr Sports was designed to do.
Most hockey assignors already know that basic spreadsheets or old-school assigning systems don’t cut it anymore. You need tools that:
Refr takes these needs seriously — and solves them in one integrated platform.
Refr Sports was built for the exact kind of challenges hockey organizations deal with every week. Whether you're assigning for a local club, a regional association, or a tournament series, Refr gives you more control, less admin, and better visibility across everything you're responsible for.
From solo officials in house league to three-person crews in competitive rep divisions, Refr lets you:
No matter how many levels or leagues you're assigning, Refr adapts to your structure.
Every assignor has been there — you offer someone a game they said they could work, only to find out they forgot a commitment. Refr keeps availability updated by letting officials manage it directly in the platform.
This keeps you out of endless back-and-forth and helps prevent no-shows.
Once assignments are sent, officials confirm in-platform. You’ll see at a glance who’s confirmed, who hasn’t, and who declined. If someone drops, you can reassign quickly without needing a group chat or mass email.
Everything is logged, clear, and trackable.
In hockey, distance matters. Rinks aren’t always centralized, and burnout from long drives is real. Refr helps manage this by letting assignors:
This not only keeps things efficient, it helps with long-term retention.
With Refr, you won’t need to rely on texts, emails, or separate messaging apps to get in touch with your crew.
Less clutter means fewer missed messages and better game-day outcomes.
You can set custom pay rates per role, league, or age group. Refr tracks assignments and automatically calculates payment summaries for you and your officials.
Assigning hockey referees is a high-stakes job. The games don’t run without you — and you can’t run efficiently without the right tools behind you.
Refr Sports is the software built for assignors like you. It’s not an add-on or an afterthought. It’s a platform that makes your job easier, your crew more reliable, and your schedule more manageable.
If you're ready to stop patching together spreadsheets, texts, and guesswork, Refr is ready to help you run a smoother season.
