If 3 centres amalgamate and form A, you'll likely have a hard time competing as a C centre against that newly formed A team. Not always, but generally in theory. You will likely not see a C centre go A but a merging of geographically close centres to make an A. At that point your C centre becomes a LL centre only.

BB is 2nd rep team U13 and below from A centre
C is body check and 2nd rep team from A centre U14 and above

Re: OMHA Continuing to removed B and Below hockey
Next change to drop for 25/26 season will be the removal of body checking from A level U14 - U18 hockey.
OMHA will only have contact for AAA & AA hockey.
First step is the re-alignment of centers. This is actually to keep hockey viable in smaller areas where participation is falling right off the cliff. After this is done is next season, the removal of contact is the next step.

Re: OMHA Continuing to removed B and Below hockey
Hockey is in BIG trouble in Canada, declining enrollment, too expensive, new Cdn's don't care, HC corruption and maltreatment concerns. Our reign in hockey supremacy is soon to be officially taken over by the USA if not already.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 12:13 am Next change to drop for 25/26 season will be the removal of body checking from A level U14 - U18 hockey.

Re: OMHA Continuing to removed B and Below hockey
The problem is people thinking they need to reign in hockey supremacy by eliminating lower levels of hockey. That is why enrollment drops. LL hockey is where the fun is.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 9:39 amHockey is in BIG trouble in Canada, declining enrollment, too expensive, new Cdn's don't care, HC corruption and maltreatment concerns.

Re: OMHA Continuing to removed B and Below hockey
So in 25/26 all B centres move to A and it becomes non-body checking? I’m not sure folks will like that. I understand having a non-body checking option at BB, but forcing it on teams will no go over well, unless they give the option to go from B to AA with checking or B to A without it.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 12:13 am Next change to drop for 25/26 season will be the removal of body checking from A level U14 - U18 hockey.

To me it makes sense to just go with AAA, AA, A all checking and allow centres to offer BB as non-checking.
