Bad news is that Newmarket won't take imports.

Christmas came early this year. I love how the AMHA is completely ignoring this, instead of addressing it head on. Not surprised though, since they were one of a few associations who voted against it.

So what happens now, do we have a town hall meeting where we tell the association publicly all of the ways they have negatively affected our families? Or is there like a spokesperson that will read off letters for us? Do we leave our coaches jackets in the lobby of ACC? Just curious how this works.

If you're MM just leave hockey all together, we'll dispose of your coaches jacket via a town bonfire. In all seriousness, the association doesn't care what we have to say, they never have. you can send your emails, complain to anyone who will listen, and scream it from the mountain tops. the sad realization of it all is nothing will change. Only option really is to just leave.

You can tell that nmha is scared:
"While there are no restrictions on the number of ‘non-resident’ players under this new policy, the NMHA wholeheartedly believes in the concept of ‘Hometown Hockey,’ and feel we have a responsibility to our local players and membership, while also considering all options to maintain a thriving and competitive rep program at all levels."

My prediction is it will require 51% of Rep teams are hometown players, but never actually enforce it because that’s a nightmare. It will all smooth itself out over time.
