Word around town is that the OMHA may reverse previous NRP rules(phasing out for 2014 kids when they hit U12) and increase up to 5 NRPS by the 2025/26 season.

Curious if anyone else is hearing this and what the reasoning would be? We are in a B centre in Niagara and this decision would likely decimate the rep levels in the smaller centres(Pelham, NOTL, Fort Erie and Port Colborne). Amalgamation for a couple of these centres would be the only solution if this NRP change actually happens.

Would love some insight on this one...

Last year they attempt to phase it out at the AGM and it got voted down. Not sure about raising the NRPs, they have amalgamated many of the centres around London leaving our B centre decimated, but our executive still want to put out watered down products that have losing seasons. We have lost all our talent to A centres around us. Alliance seems to have their stuff together around us though.

Only option for AA is Jr. knights. It’s due time the Elgin Middlesex Canucks offer a AA option, instead of shipping all their cuts to surrounding AAA centres.

Will never happen, Alliance (EMC), A (OMHA). Right now the LJK AA are mopping up playing a bunch of A teams all year.

Ok, but wouldn’t it make sense to have a AA team with EMC, then? Why won’t it ever happen, what are the barriers? Creating a strong AA loop would allow for more development

It would make sence, 5-10 EMC cuts to play AAA elsewhere from every age group. You could build a power AA team out of those kids and have a good farm team for AAA

What’s nrp?

NRP=Non-resident player. Currently at the U12 age group and up teams can roster up to 3 NRP players meaning players that are from other centres and the the centre they are trying out for. The more the OMHA increases this allowed number, the weaker it will make the smaller centres as their best players should likely make higher caliber teams as NRp's
