Should the OMHA get rid of the LOR boundry?

Should the OMHA get rid of the LOR boundry? This would free-up a lot of players that are regionally locked, even after U14.

One governing body in Ontario, all these member partners need to go.
Open boundaries for all. Bad associations and poor coaching gone in no time, hold people accountable.

Disagree. Will end up with several super teams and then all the other just filling teams with unskilled players.
Option 1: Open boundaries for AAA level play. But limit the total number of AAA teams allowed to enter.
Option 2: Keep boundaries, but make the areas much larger; thus reducing the total number of AAA programs.

AA hockey and down, lock the boundaries down, again maybe at AA make them larger to lower number of teams, but don't allow releases. If you can't make AA in your home center, go play on their A team, not transfer to be on a lesser team elsewhere.

In AAA zones that include multiple associations, there should be movement within the zone for AA and A players. For instance a kid in Aurora can play for any team in the YSE zone, Newmarket, Georgina etc. Because, what if Aurora has 30 strong AA kids at an age level? A bunch find a way to leave and not come back. They should be able to stay and develop in their AAA zone.

As poster of Option 1&2 - I support your idea. Within the AAA zone freedom of movement across AA programs in that AAA zone. I think at the A level it should stay locked to the home centre, with a broadly adopted BB level where the A center has the participation rate to support it.

I disagree and think they should all be removed. The Rules in place are horrible and only hurt kids development.

I am currently stuck in an an association that has volunteer parent coach's with limited knowledge of the game.

My Son is a mid level AAA player who got cut at the last tryout leaving him no where else to go play AAA since all the other tryouts are done. Due to the current rules he could not even tryout for a 2nd or 3rd team as a backup.

He is wanted by 3 of the top AA teams in Ontario

Now the current AA team for our association is really an A team at best and even thought the association recognizes this and is willing to give me a release because we are outside of the LOR boundaries he can not go play in the GTHL at the AA level.

With all this said I live 8 mins north of a LOR association and 5 mins west of a GTHL association.
