OMHA continues to remove B and Below hockey. No centres under B now.

Everyone just realigning to create A Centres

WOAA using shared boundaries to create A zones and those kids have residential boundaries for Local League as well.

Anyone got more information on this.

Look at The shamrock league. Tier 1 is all A now. OMHA is encouraging centres to adopt a new shared boundary through hybred amalgamations. Some associations are going to be left behind if they dont get off their asses. Eg. St marys,dorchester, lambeth and anyone B or C. Go look up tillsonburg and ingersoll did. Or simcoe /norfolk and soon ilderton/lucan/parkill. The goal is to have all AAA/AA/A/HL. No more BB. B. CC C etc.

Is there any proof of this besides rumours though? Are all teams at B and below being moved to BB by default? Doesn’t C have bodychequing but BB doesn’t?

If this makes hockey cheaper .. I am all for it.

Its all true OMHA has announced it.
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

Associations dragging their feet are going to be left behind.
This should be the most talked about thing out here right now is the OMHA restructure of "rep" hockey!
It will look like this AAA/AA/A/LL eventually. Super regions will be A at best in SW Ontario. Everyone else will be LL. There will be no BB and beyond.

I have not seen an official announcement yet, just rumors around the rinks. We are a C centre right now, so moving to an A centre would be great for us I think! Do you know if clubs have a certain amount of time to make the change? Or is it just going to be implemented this coming seanson (24/25)

So an A Centre will have an A team and a BB team for U13 and below. Then they switch to A and C at U14?

I think all they have planned for next season is removing below B, so if your C you will be B next year.

Gotcha. Thanks for that information. It would be good to get rid of B as well. Do you know if there was an official announcement? I looked everywhere on the OMHA site but couldn't find anything. If you have a link please share
