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
What constitutes tampering?
And does it matter who is approaching? If a parent is trying to recruit, is that tampering as well?

What a joke. Why do you even care. This is an age old tale. Why you so surprised when it happens every year all the time. What exactly are you trying to prove?

Parents can have all the conversations they want with other parents.

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?
Isn’t it one of the reasons OHF won’t allow to register new teams this year?

Yes and no. OHF won't allow any new teams in the upcoming season, however if you approach a GTHL organization/coach with a group of strong players who have already been playing together, i'm sure they would consider taking the group on their team for next season as it saves them from the under-the-table recruiting that teams already seem to be doing.

Parents can reach out to coaches, just not the other way around.

But coaches cannot offer spots/skates etc....
does anyone know the rules about OWHA tampering to OHF players? Is there a standing rule?

In Girls teams are all pretty much .ade before tryouts, there's no really way they can police it
