The OMHA (Ontario Minor Hockey League) has stepped in to take control of the Simcoe Region Minor Hockey League (SRMHL) until certain issues can be resolved. SRMHL includes TNT, Beeton, Thornton, Innisfil, Bradford and Schomberg and some York Region based communities. According to the story in the New Tecumseth Free Press Online, the conflict appears to involve player rosters and webiste control.
"OMHA provided the SRMHL with player rosters so that there was a way to check and keep track of player movement, but is now refusing, citing privacy issues. Reportedly The OMHA also wanted control of the league's web site...." This should be an interesting story to follow. The full story is posted at http://www.madhunt.com/srmhl-board-resigns-20121029.html

Question of the week
Hi - A question was asked this week:
Can a player from Caledon play for Brampton?
1.Just my opinion, but if the player is going to play house league, he should be able to play anywhere.
2.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
3.At AAA level, yes but you need appropriate releases.
4.If you have an OHF grievance against your organization - you could try that.
5.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.

"Campbellford Minor Hockey Association has won its appeal and will remain at the CC level...The OMHA had been looking at reclassifying many centres for next season and Campbellford was facing being moved up to a B centre, where it would face teams that can draw from larger populations.
"The executive in consultation with many of our members felt it would be very difficult for a centre our size to be competitive at the B level so we decided to appeal the decision," Petherick said."

Mississauga Hockey League Import Policy
| I pulled this from the Mississauga Hockey League site because it clarifies their import policy and a lot of viewers are interested in player movement. Like it or not, it's great when rules and boundaries are clear.

By JEFF GARD Northumberland Today
Posted 14 days ago
PORT HOPE and COBOURG — There will be no amalgamation between Port Hope Minor Hockey and the Cobourg Community Hockey League in the foreseeable future."

Beeton News?
Yesterday this article appeared from the Free Press Online:http://www.madhunt.com/baa-scrap-rep-deal-tnt-20120228.html
The Beeton Athletic Association (BAA) reportedly informed its members last night that it will be applying to the OMHA to reestablish itself as a rep hockey centre, ending, after one season, an arrangement with TNT Minor Hockey that opened the boundaries to kids in Beeton to play A or AA level in their town"...... "The deal forged between TNT and the BAA came after a year of contentious battling inside Beeton hockey". Things still seem to be up in the air!

OMHA Boundaries
Each day visitors arrive at this blog looking for information regarding OMHA boundaries, player movement and residency rules. Should this be the best place to look? I think not! It should be the OMHA. Here's what the OMHA website tells us:
"What are the Residency Regulations for minor hockey?
The residency regulations govern the location your child plays competitive minor hockey in order to maintain a fair and competitive player development system. Residency regulations are defined by boundaries based on your home residence.
Recreational or House League players do not abide by Residency Regulations since they participate in competitive hockey.
Competitive or Rep players may appeal the residency regulation under certain circumstances. Other Rep players within the “Lake Ontario Region” have other regulations pertaining to tryouts.
What if our family has moved?
If your family moved from one OMHA association to another OMHA association since the last time your child [ren] participated in minor hockey, you are required to have an OMHA Residential Questionnaire completed and approved.
If your family moved from an area governed by another OHF Member Partner [GTHL, Alliance, OMHA, NOHA] since the last time your child [ren] participated in minor hockey you are required to have an OHF Residential Transfer completed and approved.
Each form is available to download at www.omha.net and be sure to ask your new association about this process when registering for the upcoming season. This will ensure that there are no delays in your child playing with their new association, especially if they will be participating in programming that is residentially restricted.
Team Officials should contact their local hockey association to ensure their records are up-to-date while Officials should contact the OMHA office."
This is at:
http://www.omha.net/flash.asp?page_id=413#FAQ15
There is a download booklet at http://www.omha.net/admin/downloads/11-OHF-OMHA.pdf which explains what Hockey Canada, The Ontario Hockey Federation and OMHA are. I thought that the following membership info was interesting:
"The following is the registered membership breakdown
for each OHF Member Partner based on the
2006-2007 insurance assessments.
Member Partners Registered players
Alliance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23,457

If you have registered for hockey already this year - you may be signing in through a Hockey Canada registration system. This registration system provided by Hockey Canada – keeps a record of your child in the location in which you are registering them. This is billed as a way to help your local organization be more administratively efficient and a few other benefits..... What it does is lock down player movement. If you try to move your child to another city to play hockey, there is a record of them in another location and you can’t register unless you go through some administrative work to transfer them.
“Hockey Canada Registry
Hockey Canada has recently developed a national database of all of our members. The database complies with our Privacy Policy while at the same time providing a sophisticated administrative tool. Access to this system is free with membership. Hockey Canada is only beginning to realize the full benefits of this system in the administration of hockey in this country and we are confident that our members will find this to be an invaluable resource. The ability to track players, suspensions, volunteer education, team statistics and the demographics of our members is an administrative advantage you simply cannot get anywhere else without paying a substantial fee."
This is also at http://www.omha.net/flash.asp?page_id=413#FAQ15
So once you have your child in this registry, you can't just sneak on over to the GTHL or another town without getting some sort of transfer. That's a whole other story....
Do you have any experiences with transferring? Please comment..

So What is the LOR Anyway?
This is from the Ontario Hockey Federation website http://www.ohf.on.ca/web_pages/region_policy.php
"History
The “Lake Ontario Region” (LOR) was formed as part of the Mediation Report adopted by the OHF Board of Directors in October of 1997 that addressed player eligibility issues in and around the Greater Toronto area.
Definition
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 are kids in the LOR more special than those in outlying towns?

OMHA Special Meeting - Player Movement
http://www.omha.net/admin/downloads/AGM11/Special%20General%20Meeting/SGM%20NOTICES%20OF%20MOTION_w_%20Cover_JAN%202011_v2.pdf
There is an OMHA meeting to vote on the player movement proposal Jan 23rd. The link is above.
Here is some of the proposed wording:
PROPOSEDWORDING
Current Methods of Player Movement:
a) The waiver system will continue for the AAA hockey program as per the current OMHA/Alliance regulations
b) The current LOR regulations remain in effect
c) Players from an association that is unable to roster a team in a season may move to the next nearest Centre per OMHA Regulation 3.5
Additional Method of Player Movement:
a) Movement to AA or A is only permitted for participants Minor Pee Wee age and above
Note: To be eligible the player is required to be the Minor Pee Wee age (11 years old) or older as at December 31 of the current playing season; OMHA Regulation 3.6 is NOT applicable.
b) Movement is only permitted to a higher level for players from A and below base category Centres
Note: There shall be NO lateral movement (i.e.: A to A, AA to AA)
c) Alliance seeded Centres will be categorized as AA for the purpose of player movement for OMHA players from BB and below
d) Maximum number of “Non Resident Players” (NRP) is three (3) per eligible team. Once a team has rostered an NRP then NO replacement NRP will be permitted.
e) Other than at a player’s Home Centre, the number of tryouts is limited to two (2) other categories. For his first opportunity, a player has the right to choose to tryout at AAA as per OMHA regulations, but this tryout is not mandatory. The second opportunity, a player must try out for a AA team at a AAA or AA base category Centre or an A team at an A base category Centre. A player’s tryout will only be permitted for the base category team in a Centre, any exceptions are listed below.`
OK, so there's a lot more in there - but it still doesn't help my kids. I'm appalled that this hasn't been passed earlier, so go ahead and pass it. But OMHA please understand that there are kids stuck playing hockey in OMHA towns filled with adult cliques that determine the pecking order in children's hockey. Sigh,,,,,,,,

OMHA Movement
Back on this topic again - because so many people are trying to find out what's going on. There doesn't seem to be anything going on - just frustration.

OMHA Movement
This is posted on Network 54 Network 54 Residency Changes
What I take from this is nothing really helps my OMHA players. If they can't move from AE or A to AA at their home level, sure they can get released from the AAA zone to move the the next zone, but only at AAA. They shouldn't and won't ever jump to AAA if they can't get experience playing at AA level due to local cliques. Meanwhile kids who live in the GTHL boundaries can play anywhere in the GTHL or in their home zone. More opportunity to develop.....

Meanwhile kids who live in the GTHL boundaries can play anywhere in the GTHL or in their home zone. More opportunity to develop.....
