The OHF tampering rules are useless...I have been contacted by 4 different teams. I know quite a few others that have also had contacts. So, forget about tampering enforcement...wild west!
Can you approach a coach?
Just they can’t approach you. Correct
You can approach whoever you want.
A coach really needs to screw up + be on the OHF get them out of here list to even care about tampering. Everyone knows it happens and nobody cares.

How is AP going to work? can you AP from anywhere or does it have to be from the organization?
Most coaches already know who they are taking. If you don’t know your OMha coach yet good luck thinking you will make a team at tryouts. Their may only be 1 or maybe 2 spots remaining.

Some people are waiting until Feb 15th to make moves.

is February 15th for sure?
Some people might be waiting, but spots in OMHA are filling up. If you aren't aware, then I wish you the best at tryouts for the last spot or two

AP's aren't really a thing anymore. That said, the OHF stated that they will leave it up to the individual associations to decide if they will put a cap on the number of "import players" on their teams. Some associations may just keep it at max 3 while others might make it wide open and not put in limits. Some others in this thread have stated that associations get discounted ice rates dependent on how many local kids are playing in the association, not sure if that is true or not.

My son has been to 4 skates already with a coach from a different center, and I have contacted other coaches and they are answering. No change from what has been going on for years. Coaches need to be careful of the bottom feeders on their teams.
Thank you for sharing such important information. Can you share the contacts of all the coaches you reached out to so that we can all call them and request they be careful.

The G does not really play on municipal ice while OMHA does. From what I’ve heard the G will not have any caps and most OmHA will not either. At this point the org with caps will be the ones at a disadvantage.
