This was recently sent to minor hockey associations in Ontario. Has anyone followed up with OHF? Thoughts?
> To all Ontario minor hockey associations, their coaches, players, parents, and other members:
>
> The Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) has recently ruled on a complaint against a Waterloo Wolves AAA team.
> The ruling states that the Fair and Equal Ice-Time principles published in Hockey Canada's Canadian Player Pathway apply to all levels of
> hockey (local league to AAA) for the age groups up to U15.
> These principles are:
> - Fair and equal ice time is designed to ensure that all players get the same opportunity to
> contribute to the outcome of games, regardless of skill or ability.
> - A coach’s responsibility is to develop all players to contribute.
> - Shortening of the bench in an attempt to win games is not permitted.
> - All players and goaltenders should receive fair and as close to equal as possible ice time.
>
> Coaches who violate these principles could be subject to disciplinary measures.
>
> Please distribute this information within your association.
> If there are any questions or concerns, please reach out to Phil McKee (OHF Executive Director).

Listen, I’m just gonna be 100% honest, when the coach doesn’t play my son as much as I think he should be playing him. We quit the team and we move onto the next team. Easy peasy!
Can't do that in OMHA, you're stuck, if the coach sticks around for 3-4 years and doesn't play your kid for PP PK or the third period ever your kid's development is over.

So, what if a goalie gets injured outside of hockey during school and misses several weeks?
Should he be entitled to get back at least some of his games? What are the rules, if any, here?
Thanks.
Thanks you

Well now you can go play where ever you want.......................
Maybe your kid isn't as good as what you think and maybe that's why they are not getting more ice time?
If you want fair and equal ice time, play local league. When you play rep, there is an understanding that your kid may not play in all situations and get their fair share of ice time.

Do you know how pissed my wife and I were? I almost knocked out the coach but didn’t because I have a medical condition.

Now reading this thread you guys brought up all these bad memories of my son not getting much ice time during the playoffs, I’m getting so upset that my blood pressure is going through the roof.
