This won't answer Brad's question directly, but from talking with the
"minor" officials at the CC St. Cloud Games held at Air Force, I
discovered that they have many Jobs for Minor Officials, and the minor
officials are employed by a team.  The jobs consist of
1,2 - goal judge
3,4 - penalty box door opener
5,6 - statistics (shots, saves)
7 - clock operator
8 - announcer
9 - scorer
 
And I'd have sworn there was a 10th
