it really depends on the rink, the area of the country and the level of play at the adult level to determine the pay for a hockey ref. I can give you an example of what they pay on average here in the Chicago suburbs for a typical ref that is refing and adult recreational league game in the evening----anywhere from 20-45 dollars per game. Some refs like to do two games a night or 3 on a weekend and can earn a nice check as well as get some great exercise at the same time. Remember now that amount can vary by location in the Country and some refs are even paid by the season not the game, but most leagues pay by the game.
