So, how do they deal with kids who can skate around every other kid and shoot top shelf at 7yo? Do they let them play against the kids that lay on the ice and do snow angels?Guest wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 12:54 pmNo, U10 is minor atom.Guest wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 7:56 am U9 is minor novice, U10 is major.
There’s a place for half-ice at U5/U6 heck even U7 for the most part. Once they get to U8(Tyke) it should go to full.
U8 is minor novice and U9 is major novice by the old terms. Most centers outside of the OMHA don't even offer AAA at these age groups because it doesn't matter when they're 7 and 8 years old.

there is already a huge variance in skill in the same level with all the options we have now. Forget taking away some.

Re: OMHA u9 AAA full ice
It doesn't matter how good a kid is at these young ages. A lot of kids will drop out of hockey altogether especially the ones being forced and pressured by parents and the kid has no interest in it. Others will drop out once checking starts. A kid that is amazing at 7,8,9 means nothing more than the fact that they started skating and playing earlier. Other kids will catch up. Only the kids who love hockey without being forced on them are the ones that will continue to get better.

Moving u9 to full ice is in talks. But honestly parents need to chill. Full ice isn’t the end all be all. A development plans and coaching can take the kids a long way at this age. Relax everyone. Little jimmy can still make the NHL if he plays half ice hockey for a couple extra months.Guest wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 11:28 amIMO if they bump everything up earlier one year Klevr is dead. If they don’t do it this year then Klevr takes over everything high level up until U9. Once entrenched they will expand to older age groups and will succeed.Guest wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 10:09 amI haven't heard anything personally. It would be smart if they did - but I think they are truly too stubborn to do it.Guest wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 8:58 pm How true is it that OMHA will be bringing back U9AAA full ice next year?
Don't they already move to full ice mid season?
Hockey Canada needs to wake up because they’ve already lost BC and Alberta to these rogue leagues and risk losing Ontario and Quebec now too.
At some point you need to listen to your clients or risk losing them to someone that will provide what their seeking.
