Fawk it. Its open borders now. Let the kids play where they want. In fact if they want to play with a 2nd team not in same loop let them do that too. April and May tryouts are a farce with most teams already picked or 90%.
Let orgs have tryouts for the next season whenever as long as they post well in advance….. Otherwise live with Tampering.
My issue is more that there are already kids "signed" so an open tryout is really an open tryout for 2 spots.
No organization will be honest but when posting for tryouts, they should have to say how many spots are open.
OMHA Parent here.
We've known for over a month now that a few of our kids are leaving. Some to the G others to different OMHA teams.
Tampering is happening everywhere and unless the coaches are careless good luck proving it.
This is what you get with open borders.
OMHA family here. Coaches are having birthday skates under the guise of 'spring tryouts', and verbally offering families spots well in advance of tryouts. In fact, the coach of our local aaa team informed us that they are going into tryouts with only, '2 fwd and 1 d spot to fill.'
The OHF tampering rules are laughable and nearly impossible to enforce.

This has been going on long before open boarders
But if they made an example of a few orgs and coaches it will not stop it completely but will greatly reduce it its not hard to prove

Don’t be jealous because your kid didn’t make it
Not jealous, my kid has made every team he has tried out for there ma'am.
