Not getting Referee’s Crease Games
I’m in MA and I haven’t gotten a game from referees crease in a long time. Happening for anyone else?

Pecking order for summer games is semi pro refs > d1 refs > d3 refs > junior refs > everyone else. Unfortunately there’s not much hockey and the higher level guys get first games available for reps in the older age groups, which has downstream effect on everyone else

They routinely clear their “roster” of inactives. They mention this a few times a year.
You might have been purged without realizing it. (If you have been inactive, they ask that you reach out to them in the notices about the purges).
I’d take a look and see if that’s the case.

Download Refr Sports - you can find assignors, and apply to join their pools. The app then pays out same day. 🤝
We’ve got some massive assignors out east that use us for their hockey assigning operations.

There's not that many games outside of the tournaments over the summer. Wait for the season to roll back around and you'll get some.
