Upper York is forcing all of the kids who are playing AA somewhere else to come back.

There have been other mergers as well which has basically eliminated all the A centres in the GTA.

Too many GTHL players coming into the AAA loop. APR should be very worried about Toronto Red Wings players — and money guy — taking over. Dream of coming last once the $$$ win the spots.

Simple solutions; 1. One governing body OHF. Get rid of OMHA/Alliance/GTHL and whatever other OHF members are out there. 2. Create hard boundaries/regions for AAA/AA/A 3. LL/HL created by any one association that wants it. 3. Open movement across the board for AAA/AA/A at all levels.

OMHA is opening up. YO heard it here first. Next season all centers open, however grandfathering similar to the NRP. 1st U10 will be open then the following year U11 and then by U14 (4 years) no more borders in the omha. Its coming...They finally woke up, weak centers will die, others will amalgamate. its what they want.

The kids that have been earning a NRP spot each year have to tryout and earn the spot and it is a maximum of 3 spots.

Those players deserve to kept trying out in that Centre. It has become home for them and they consider it their team. It should not be a lateral move is the point of the comment.

There is a reason those players are tryout in neighboring centers. Perhaps its because it is a healthier and better environment for the player as well as hockey development

That's what is meant by a grandfather clause, not grandfathering players in for years at a time.

Also the comment about calling a person a whiner or telling a person to suck it up and or move is a bit brutal!

I know 3 different families from 2 different centers it affects and it's not an easy situation for anyone! Everyone is entitled to a respectful opinion.

He is top scorer on his U11A team, and the AA coach told him to come out to tryouts already. We are going to AAA just for the skate, because its good prep. My son works hard and goes to all kinds of dev clinics. We paid thousands in extra classes. He will be on the AAA team withing 2 years, everyone is telling me how good he is. Its important to be a realist.

The issue is your association in now at the level of what your kid has been trying out for. So your player can play A at their old BB now A centre. now other BB centre kids can have an opportunity to NRP to that team. Its time to go back to your centre since your not a resident of that other centre.

But why should a player who is thriving have to come back to a centre that is not as good and where that player doesn't want to be. Why can't there be a grandfather clause and allow players to stay where they have been playing for years!!!! Lets do whats right for the player and their mental health this is negatively affecting children!! Why should players be forced to come back where they don't want to be!!!!!
