What if the appointed referee or linesperson does not turn up?

Question

Accepted Answer

The managers or coaches of the two teams agree on temporary referees and linespersons.

Temporary officials may be any Hockey Canada certified officials present, including players, team officials or spectators.
If no certified official is present, each team may appoint one team official or player to act as a temporary official.
Temporary officials must wear at least skates, a helmet and a facial protector (visor).
If the regularly appointed officials arrive during the game, they replace the temporary officials immediately.
If an appointed linesperson cannot start or finish the game, the referee in charge may appoint another in their place if necessary.
