Officiating Suspensions (a state association or USA Hockey league or local supervisor may suspend a referee for up to 10 days, and a state association or Affiliate may suspend a referee pursuant to the summary suspension procedures below); o Assault of a Game Official (an immediate suspension occurs if a match penalty is assessed under Rule 601(g)1 or 601(j)1, with a playing rule hearing under Bylaw 10.D); and o Summary Suspensions (are permitted “. . . only in those cases where a participant has been assaulted, or subject to physical or sexual abuse as described in the policies of USA Hockey, or other violations of USA Hockey policies as set out in the Annual Guide, or the affiliates’ comparable policies, that have been reviewed, and approved by USA Hockey . . . â€).  Although the language allowing Summary Suspensions for “violations of USA Hockey policies as set out in the Annual Guide, or the affiliates’ comparable policiesâ€, may be interpreted broadly, it is intended that situations calling for suspension prior to a hearing are the exception rather than the rule and hence they should not be overused.  An Affiliate or local league or organization may not issue a Summary Suspension unless the Affiliate’s bylaws, rules or regulations provide for such a suspension.  USA Hockey Bylaw 10.C(2)(d) requires only 7 days notice prior to a hearing. Only extreme cases should rise to the level where a suspension cannot wait for 7 days to conduct a hearing. Although a party may try to delay a hearing, a suspending party would be within their authority to impose a suspension if the notified party did not appear at a properly called hearing (they would then have a right to appeal).  If a Summary Suspension is imposed, the suspended party must be provided a written notice of their right to request a hearing. If the party requests a hearing in writing within 7 days of the notice, they must be provided a hearing pursuant to the provisions of Bylaw 10.C.
