I understand that it's tough to see kids leave their area for greener pastures or for a local kid to be cut but the point of AAA and any competitive sport is to have the best kids - not just the best kids that are within a boundary. Also, it might force organizations to be better - to be more appealing to players. Make them want to come to you.

Less teams= agree

No Boundaries = agree

If someone wants to drive 2 hrs to practice fill your boots

Take a step back in time and learn the history of how Elgin-Middlesex Chiefs came to be. A dedicated group of parents came together to provide a team for highly talents Bantam players that could not play outside of their OMHA centres
It was 1 team. They worked hard to make it a reality.. nearly lost it all due to "circumstances" and eventually EMHA became a full association with 1 team at each age level on the AAA Alliance. EMC exists for the development of Elgin-Middlesex players. If you don' like it, leave. Go to the G and see how great it is
Good luck

This statement is the funniest thing i've heard out here. EVER! "EMC exists for the development of Elgin-Middlesex players".

The ones that fit into the controlling age groups that allow it. Let's be honest.

Borders are a communist mentality. You all freak the eff out when medical professionals recommend you to get a shot yet you let a bunch of old white fat dudes from richmond hill/stratford/ cambridge etc tell you where you can play. You think minor hockey has freedom? Lol you are all puppets to the man and his $. Wake up. Prep academies are growing for a reason.

The real reason most are afraid of open borders and change is it increases the competition. Holds people accountable and increases the likelyhood of people losing control. Imagine if your little superstar had to make it on his own. Not because of being buddies with the coaches kid. Revolving dads taking turns coaching to ensure no change. Parents taking board positions to have bias and intent. Coaches taking teams and players who are loyal to their training companies.

It's fear tand money that dictates borders. Wake up.

The organizations are run by volunteers from the community they are in. Aaa is not a corporate franchise that dispatches management teams where they want a team on their dime. Local aaa orgs are started and run by the community they are in. Why the eff would a community form and volunteer to run an organization at their own great expense and time commitment for other peoples kids???
The open border people are ALWAYS the parent problems.
Coaching corruption is far more prevalent in open border systems. You are pushing your agenda because you want control you dont have and dont deserve- all open border advocates do.

This is 100% correct.
If you want to broaden your player's horizons, there are no limits. Go try your luck with your money and see how bad "no borders" really is. EMC volunteers have worked hard for year to provide a level of hockey that local associations can't. There is no AA or A EMC.

There is no merit in your argument

There is merit.....it is about freedom of choice ...to spend your $ and play where you want

You can still do that. You just choose not to, and think that your freedom are I Fri he’s upon because you want to stay in the area.

There are non hockey Canada affiliated teams and you can always spend your money on the G, OMHA or to another team you’d like. You don’t need to open borders in alliance for you to do that and spend your money where you want. You have freedoms in Canada that you are wanting to enact (freedoms of movement ). Then move.

Besides what does this have to do with EMC and it being a joke?

Ok puppet. Lol parents volunteer to either keep their kid relevant or have control. Nothing more. They are just to stupid to realize all the money you all funnel up to alliance. Omha. Ohf. Hc. Look it up.

Pls tell me how freedom of choice re open borders is having control? When closed borders limits choice. Why even have F1's then? If youre so sold on borders then why allow F1's? Which is just hoop jumping bs. You're afraid is why. Afraid of choices.

Volunteers protect their own kid- thats 1 spot. Highly Paid coaches in open borders recruit their 1st line then sell the rest - thats over 10 corrupt picks - don’t believe me - check the gthl. Your pi$$ed cuz you can afford one of the corrupt spoTs but your reputation has ruined your kids chances in your home org -

No borders just makes sense. If you as an org are as great as you think you are. Why would anyone leave? Then all your problems can just go play hockey elsewhere. Seems like an obvious win win.
