Word around town is that the OMHA may reverse previous NRP rules(phasing out for 2014 kids when they hit U12) and increase up to 5 NRPS by the 2025/26 season.
Curious if anyone else is hearing this and what the reasoning would be? We are in a B centre in Niagara and this decision would likely decimate the rep levels in the smaller centres(Pelham, NOTL, Fort Erie and Port Colborne). Amalgamation for a couple of these centres would be the only solution if this NRP change actually happens.
Would love some insight on this one...

It would make sence, 5-10 EMC cuts to play AAA elsewhere from every age group. You could build a power AA team out of those kids and have a good farm team for AAAGuest wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2024 8:48 amOk, but wouldn’t it make sense to have a AA team with EMC, then?

Too much bs, too many egos and just brain dead member partners. (Alliance and OMHA), OHF should abolish all the member partners and have 1 governing body of hockey in Ontario. open borders, very specific best practices and policies, and clearly geographically defined regions of AAA/AA/A/LL
Re: NRP changes 2025/26
NRP is a joke. they won't change it because local centres will lose money... at least that is what the centres want you to believe. local centres should only be responsible for house league and selects. Boundaries these days are to make sure those with money can buy their kids entry and limit talent. QRD AAA is a pay to play organization. Bring money and you play. Bring in third party evaluators everywhere.
NRP is broken because of the unwritten rule that you don't take goalies. I have seen so many talented goalies not be able to play because of this. it has to go. It is bad enough that goalie gear is so expensive.

Re: NRP changes 2025/26
There should not be any “Rep” level lower than A.
Make it all local or HL below that. If a kid from a small town wants to play rep then go out to the next bigger centre and try out.
Canada needs to put fun back into hockey where more kids just want a puck dropped and go. Rep is now watered down so much that only people who can commit time and money have kids playing low level rep instead of HL where they probably should be with their friends from school and community.
