2. Can a kid from caledon play hockey in the gthl?

Well kind of. Not really. Well here are some ideas. If your son tries out for AAA in his home zone, gets an F1 waiver from that zone - and surrounding zones (sorry - you have to figure out which one with some investigative work), then he can try out for AAA in the GTHL. Not AA or A. This is difficult to navigate because you have to pretty much have an AAA offer in the GTHL prior to tryouts to time it right.
The problem with AA and A players is that Caledon does not appear to be part of the Lake Ontario Region (LOR). Kids from the LOR can tryout for the GTHL. It's like a little buffer zone around the GTHL.
"The Minor Hockey geographic sub division comprised of the GTHL (Toronto, Mississauga and Vaughan) and the OMHA centres of Oakville, Brampton, Richmond Hill, Markham, Pickering and Ajax.
Regulations
The LOR Regulations for the 2009-2010 are the parameters by which players participate in the LOR."
The full regulations are at http://www.ohf.on.ca//web_doc/gen_pdf/lake_ontario_region.pdf
So then it depends on whether your child could potentially be signed up for Brampton hockey. If you live on the border of Brampton/Caledon you could "Right of Choice" to Brampton. This is a whole other OMHA regulation. It is designed for rural people who live between two centres. If the end of your driveway is a difference of less that 8 kilometers between one centre's main post office (or other designated centre) and another centre - you may be able to right of choice. If your child plays hockey in Brampton then he is in the LOR and can play for the GTHL. This is in theory only - you would have to step through it and research it yourself to make sure it will really work before you go messing with your child's hockey registration. I believe that once you "Right of Choice" to another centre you can't go back.
Please comment about any experiences you may have with this type of movement.
3. Can someone explain right of choice minor hockey?
Well, as above it' an old rule designed for people - usually rural who live between two centres. But it doesn't have to be rural people.
Here's the link to the form www.omha.net/admin/downloads/Forms2006/Reg16.pdf and the OMHA manual - section 3.4a
Download it, then read it a few times to make some sense of it. Some centres map out what they think is the "grey area" between two centres. Take the time, if you think you are close to map things out yourself.
I will try to expand on this area later!
4. Can an OMHA rostered Goalie Play Out?
Great question - Please comment if you know!
5. do they offer private hockey +defensive training in toronto
Sure - all kinds. I'm sure if you checked any of the larger camps in Toronto you'll find them. Check the hockey camps and classes page. If you wanted to drive a bit out of Toronto Ice2Ice in Oakville offered a regular defensive skills class. You could also try lessons at Varsity in Brampton.

(By the way - I have no idea how I got this text background colour in there - or how to get rid of it - sorry)
6. Can kids play school hockey if not living in that town?
I think so but you would have to check with OFSAA. I know thought that if you played hockey in one high school and then transferred to another school, you can't play for one full school year unless you get a transfer from OFSAA. Those aren't available just because you want to change schools to be with a friend or something like that. There have to be special circumstances like bullying or a special course requirement that is documented with the school you left. Just go to OFSAA website to figure this one out and talk to your head of athletics at your new school.
7, can milton resident play in gthl
No. Milton is not part of LOR Lake Ontario Region. Sorry!
8. Can a player from Caledon play for Brampton?
-If the player is going to play house league, he should be able to play anywhere.
-OMHA Right of Choice - measure the distance from your driveway to the designated centre - current and hoped for. Usually the Post Office is the centre, but not always. If the distances are within 8 kilometres of each other (for example it's 14 km to Brampton post office and 7 km to Caledon post office from the end of your drive - a difference of 7km - so less than 8km) over regularly travelled roads, then you have a Right of Choice - consult with the OMHA
-At AAA level, yes but you need appropriate releases.
-If you have an OHF grievance against your organization - you could try that.
-If you have a goalie and Brampton has applied for Goalie Relief (stretching it a bit)
Good Luck - and check all the details first - these are just some ideas.

ReplyDeleteWe live in Bolton and my son is a goalie, can he play inner city or select in Brampton?
ReplyDeleteNew OHMA rule (page 165)
ReplyDeletePlayers aged 5 years and below shall not participate on any Minor Development Initiation Hockey Team
So what is the impact of a 4-5 year supper star ? Answer he can't play on a team
My son currently plays aaa in the gthl, and has gone through f1 waiver process. He is in his minor year this season. We would like to move to another team in the gthl for the next season. Is the waiver still valid until his next minor year?
ReplyDeletePlayers have to return to their home centers in each minor year and apply for a new waiver. He should be able to use the same waiver for his major year (unless it specifies a team rather than the league).
DeleteIf you use the right of choice to switch centres can you use it again if you wish to come back after a couple of years?
ReplyDeleteWe are in a right of chioce area. We are in OMHA but Alliance centre is next closest but another OMHA centre is also within the distance requirements. Can we skip the Alliance centre and go OMHA to OMHA?
ReplyDeleteOk, here's a good Question. A player in an OMHA sanctioned tournament receives a major head contact penalty, then a fighting penalty, then a match penalty for ref contact.All in the same play. He gets 3 games for head contact, 2 games for fighting and 8 games for the match penalty. He sits out the last 2 games of the tournament. Can those 2 games count toward his fighting or head contact suspension?
ReplyDelete4. Can an OMHA rostered Goalie Play Out?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the level of play. House league and select goalies may play out. Rep level goalies may not play out for the team they are signed to (though skaters may play goal if needed). Check the OHF rulebook for more detailed information.
my son is peewee age and we live in a right of choice, he has played house league in Lindsay for the past 2 years, but he did play rep in novice and minor atom. he now wants to play with friends in kawartha rep, is it only up to lindsay to release us or omha
ReplyDeleteMy Daughter would like to play for a Minor Atom AA team and we are 7 km out bounds so we must go to our nearest Rep Center and they only have a CC and there tryouts don't start until September. What and How do I do to have my daughter tryout for a AA team?
