OMHA's decision to allow open borders has greatly affected our association as we have lost more than 45 players and goalies from last year's rep program. Based on the registrations that have been received for Rep Tryouts for the U15 and U18 divisions, we currently do not have enough players registered to plan for U15 and U18 rep teams in the fall.
If you have already registered and did not choose rep tryouts and plan to tryout, please sign in to your Hockey Canada account and choose rep tryouts and complete your registration. We currently have a wait list for the U15 and U18 divisions while we wait to see if we will be able to roster rep teams in these divisions.
If you have not registered or are on the wait list and are interested in trying out for our U15 or U18 rep teams, please email
[email protected] to inform us of your interest.
We are allowing out of area players/goalies to tryout for our rep teams, and our Oro Executive Board has discussed that we will consider allowing from 0 to 5 out of area players/goalies per team depending on the divisions need for additional rep players, the quality of the out of area players, and the needs of Oro minor hockey players. It is at the discretion of the Board how many out of area players will be chosen.
We hope to make the decision by the end of June upon review of the responses that we receive. If we cannot offer rep teams, we hope to have enough players on the wait list to add another local league team to both U15 and U18.
Please do not forward payment for rep fees at this time in case we have to refund them.
