Mid-Coast Hockey Officials (MCHO), founded in early 2025, is dedicated to delivering the highest standard of officiating across Illinois and surrounding regions. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end platform that streamlines assignments, development, evaluation, and advancement for hockey officials.

As hockey continues to grow throughout Illinois—from Peoria to Pleasant Prairie, Hammond to Chicago, and into communities like Kankakee, Rockford, Decatur, and Champaign—MCHO is committed to raising the bar for officiating excellence. Through collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision among assignors at every level, from Mite to College, we aim to create a unified system that supports officials and enhances the game experience statewide.

  • Centralized Assignments: All Illinois and regional game assignments managed on a single platform for maximum efficiency.
  • Streamlined Processes: Simplified assignment workflows for associations, leagues, and officials.
  • No Registration Fees: Officials access the platform without any registration costs.
  • Improved Payment Cycle: Officials are paid promptly between the 5th–10th of each month for prior games, accelerating the previous schedule.
  • Focused Development: Enhanced mentorship, evaluation, and supervision programs for continuous improvement.
  • Structured Training: Comprehensive education initiatives to improve retention and elevate grassroots officiating quality.
  • Collaborative Growth: Partnership with IHOA to support official education and registration at all levels.
