U10A (2014) no NRP's?

Post by AngryDad »

Kid plays in a D center in OMHA and has been told there is no avenue to participate in tryouts for neighbouring A center (which older sibling did and made the team) and this will follow this age group all the way up to U21. Am I missing something here? Great kids have to stick it out in D division OMHA competition levels now?

3 hours from the GTHL so not going to work, and the no NRP rule applies to AA as well. Basically was told to lie about my address or suck it up. So wierd to randomly change the rules for 2014's only.

O well, it's just hockey I guess. None of this border restriction stuff ever made sense to me anyway.

Borders are BS, only penalize player movement in the A to D centres and AA kids. NRP's start at U12, not sure of the reason why they don't at U10, but U12. OMHA would watch kids quit for any reason than make an exception. UNLESS, it's their idea, then it's ok, they can make s**t happen. Hockey's a mess, boundaries and borders are a joke, OMHA/OHF/ HC has ruined the last decade of hockey from half ice bs, boundaries and borders, player movement, COVID, centre re-classifications, NRP bs. The whole AAA system is a joke, you can go wherever you want if you're organized and run around like a mad person. But a poor kid mid range like yours likely is....screwed. Sorry about ya luck chuck, hopefully the crap gets figured out before ya child ages out.

My kid is going into U13. Last year he NRPed as a goalie to U12AA in a neighboring centre and had a very successful year. With trial amalgamations, our home centre is now doing an AA pilot project - so no NRP passports to get out, but they will take outside kids as NRPs. There are 4 goalies with AAA/AA experience coming back and 3 "A" goalies (7 for 2 spots). Two AA kids will go to A and A kids will be in house league rather than be allowed to rejoin their old NRP AA teams who are short goalies. OMHA is a joke. It protects organization $$$ and gives zero crap about individuals or development.

For your reading pleasure regarding future of NRPs. They are being 100% phased out starting with the 2014's, as OP alluded to. If your center is not Amalgamating those players truly are being left behind :|



The OMHA Representative Committee brought forward the following recommendation that was presented
and approved by the OMHA Board of Directors effective 2023-24:

Maximum number of rostered "Non-Resident Players" (NRP) is three (3) per eligible team.
. for the 2012 birth year the maximum number of NRP is two (2) per eligible team.
. for the 2013 birth year the maximum number of NRP is one (l) per eligible team.
. for the 2014 and subsequent birth years there will be zero (0) NRP's per eligible team.

Once a team has rostered an NRP then no replacement NRP will be permitted.

This means, for the 2023-24 season, for the 2012 birth year the maximum number of NRPs is two (2) per
eligible team.
When the 2013 birth year reaches U12 and subsequent age divisions, the maximum number of NRPs will
be one (1) per eligible team.
When the 2014 birth year reaches U12 and subsequent age divisions, the maximum number of NRPs will
be zero (0) per eligible team.

The NRP regulation was introduced to allow players access to a higher level of hockey than available in
their home Association. This was a 'player-centr¡c' opportunity and not intended for Associations to be
reliant on NRPs to form teams. We are also seeing a significant number of Associations amalgamating to
form AA and A base category entities and thus providing additional opportunity for players to access higher
categories of competition.

Amalgamations aren't the issue - it's lack of player movement. If a kid is cut and could find a home somewhere else, why not let them go? Are you forced to buy a car from the dealership nearest your house, or do you have a decision on what you buy based on quality, price, etc? Why do kids in LOR of OMHA have freedom of movement but kids in rural areas forced to stay with their home associations? Sound like OMHA is making rules up as they go along.

Sure, but some OMHA leagues (example W.O.A.A) won't even lets centers amalgamate into single A centers -in fact they have denied a couple proposals for it over the past 2-3 years- so those players will never even have a chance to see A/AA under these new rules.

Old post but these changes fell apart. Unfortunately after tryouts…
