Maybe? But, the whole system needs to change for OMHA If you are going to allow that.

The kids are going to goto the G either way, but you can't screw over OMHA in the meantime. I'd suggest based on players home address in OMHA kids should be able to play for any one of the three closest teams by geography.

This fixes the issue of teams having kids from 100km away to form super teams. But it allows kids to get away from situations they don't want to be in. Plus it improves AAA quality because there will be more kids that SHOULD be in AAA instead of them getting pushed down to AA because of a bad situation.

If they don’t sign you by a certain date, a AAA centre has to grant a release. It is only at AA and below that your kid is “owned” and has to be “released” from their centre. This has to end. If a kid needs a change of scenery because they live in the coach’s dog house, let them go. AA, A and B centres tend to be a lot closer together geographically but the boards would never grant a release to play in another town, that is 15 minutes away… So many power-tripping volunteers on those boards.

That's it right there, power tripping volunteers and their cronies. Minor hockey is riddled with them, and it'll never stop. Can't even be honest on coaches reviews, because our association shows the coaches what is said, and everyone is afraid to speak up and have it taken out on their kid.

I agree with the argument of kids getting pushed down to AA because of a bad situation, but don’t you think it’ll just become more of a popularity contest?

1. Send anonymous feedback
2. Volunteers who powertrip are the joke of the organization and once they no longer volunteer they’ll see that everyone really hated them all along
3. OHF needed to be more specific in their release, or say nothing. They are causing gossip and speculation and the hockey world does not need more of that

Point 3....

I agree they have opened themselves up for the wild west of opinions at this point, but who cares? That stuff happens no matter what. I think they are grasping at straws right now. Love or hate KSL, the fact it exists has put pressure on OHF to fix their long standing BS policies.
