In the Vancouver field hockey leagues, all teams are required to supply rated umpires for other teams' games throughout the season.
All umpires are paid by the respective leagues and Jokers will reimburse members the fee for the umpiring course once they are rated and have umpired two games for the club.
Umpiring payments vary, depending on the umpire's level of qualification. For more information see the men's league or women's league websites.
