How is AP going to work? can you AP from anywhere or does it have to be from the organization?

AP are you referring to Alternate Player (aka Call Up)?
If so, call ups come from the association. G teams call up from the younger age group same level team. OMHA will continue to call up whoever they want from with the association.

The G does not really play on municipal ice while OMHA does. From what I’ve heard the G will not have any caps and most OMHA will not either. At this point the org with caps will be the ones at a disadvantage.

This is not true. City of Toronto have a very clear ice allocation policy that factors in residency rules. The trick for Toronto is not just the cost reduction, it the actual allocation of ice. The hours you get are impacted by residency. Yes some teams use private ice, thus this does not impact those teams.

Mississauga is much more rigid. All the Mississauga teams use city ice and Mississauga has some serious public activist that want less discounts and hours goings to teams of non-residents. This is a debate every year at City Council. Mississauga ice allocation impacts both ice allotment and significant impact on cost.

AAA is open, but I can't see a lot of parents driving over an hour for practices and games. It is not worth it.

Anyone driving over an hour to play hockey needs some serious help.

You’d be surprised. There are many such confused parents planning to drive over an hour to play in the G. They assume that the G will ensure their kid magically becomes a superstar.

Or just motivated to get away from a shit coach/organization.

THIS!
