Ha. There has never been a cap. Not sure how people get their information. It’s all based on what the org decides. The omha does not care. Why do you write this stuff when you have no idea what you’re talking about. My sons omha team has 7 imports right now. But apparently there is a rule that it’s capped at 4? Common people. Get the facts straight.
Currently it’s 4 imports at AAA so how is it possible to have 7 unless they are coming in with address changes then obviously they are not classed as imports. With open borders the existing rule of imports no longer applies. Orgs will decide on capping or leaving it open. I think it will be non capped.
What age group? Some of the older age groups (08,09,10) may have been grand fathered in with unlimited imports at AAA. OMHA removed Import caps at AAA a few years ago but then changed the rule again to cap the # of imports after a couple seasons.
I am not up on the AAA rules but I was told by a non reliable person the 'imports' for AAA clarification were players from another league. eg: OMHA AAA team could only have 4 players from Alliance/GTHL but unlimited players from other OMHA centres. Does this make sense?
Maybe OMHA might do that because there is too much politics within OMHA. As of today with the new open borders there are no limits of where players come from. It will be up to associations to set limits should they choose to. OMHA orgs may choose to do so but it will not be universally set from what I hear but rather Org by Org. But they would be at a loss if they did put in limits.

Hey OHF.....Guess what? Tampering has started already, and honestly can anyone really be shocked about it?!?

How are you policing this? Are you relying on all of us to be rats? What's the penalties, what's the process? All for open borders but the jockeying has already begun. Why is OMHA telling associations to not allow imports. Boards are already jockeying on coaches and associations are scrambling to appoint coaches for the 2025/2026 season so that they can tamper for the next 3-4 months. No structure to your big announcement is just going to leave some kids on the outside looking in, overlapping tryouts, no processes or rules in place, more back room deals happening now than ever before. LOL What a mess fellas.

100% we know tampering has started. Saw "persons" far from their home centre talking to people and that is exactly what they were doing... trying to entice parents to move their kid to .....
this is all going to go for $h!t

There are NO import numbers across the OHF. An association may self impose a non resident limit if they wish to but there is no such thing as an import anymore as the OHF is one geographic region now.

Considering that most associations can't walk and chew gum, this should be interesting.

Not happening at least not this year. They do have that in the gthl for A and AA. Which is actually much better

Hypothetically, if an OMHA team wanted to move as an entire team could they potentially do that now? Say a strong A team that isn’t getting a change at AA in their home centre. Could they approach a G team that doesn’t have a team in that age group and see if the entire team could move to the G club?
