Once AAA teams are picked in the fall, the OHF will be announcing Open Borders in Ontario for 2025/26 season. All levels all age groups. Play where you want is coming.
No more residential transfers, no more waivers, no more releases. Its coming.

I am the OP on of this thread... Just to give context i have been right about everything I post ( I could provide a list if you like), i dont post lightly. Again you heard it here first. Open borders has been decided. Its coming at all levels U10 and above. They cannot open U9 due to some HC regulations with the pathway at least not yet, walk before you can run. I can also say full ice is coming as well but not until next season. Buckle up, there is one more change but not ready to announce it yet and will effect AAA in a good way IMO

When can we expect these announcements? because like someone posted earlier it could affect if they physically up root their family and move... will an announcement be made before coaches are decided for next year oh wise one?

They should announce it soon for 26/27 year.

So it won't happen for 25-26?

No

It might become easier to get a release though. Or easier to show a move with OHF since it’s going to go away anyway for 25-26 season.

Looking forward to better coaching!

Can't do it for next season because it probably needs a vote to pass at AGM. It will get voted down like it always does and nothing will change.

Not having it for 25\26 season is a mistake, force it in and let tryouts run their course, then let them decide how to vote based on their teams already been made. They did this a couple years ago lowering the NRP counts. That was a holy WTF moment if I ever saw one. You live in a D center, yup your Not allowed you can play AAA or D and NEVER anything else. Like who thinks this shit up.

Excluding U7-U9MD is so stupid as is the fact there is actually like 3 U9MD tier levels. Just bring AAA (or at least A) back to U9 and let kids have open borders. None of this NRP only at U12 dumb shit and stuck pointlessly in a D center for years. They are already moving back to full ice all year for U9MD (Tier 1*)
