The residency rules are officially being changed and I am honestly stunned that we actually pulled this off. This result belongs entirely to the parents who stood up for their families because I never imagined we could force such a massive shift on our own. Please keep watching the league …

Some Minor Hockey Associations like the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) tell you were your child must play hockey. (residency rule) One would think, that you as a parent would know whats best for your child. But today the OMHA tells all parents where their children must play hockey. If you (as a parent) don\'t like where you are told your child must play, than you can take your child to another team or centre, right Wrong! Unless you get a release, than your child is stuck playing for a team which you don\'t approve of or the association that is poorly run. What ever happen to freedom of choice in Canada Gee.... if my child was taking golf lessons and I was unhappy with the golf instructor, I would take my child to a different golf course and a different golf instructor. But Minor Hockey Associations like the OMHA, tell you where your child must play hockey. You have no say at all! Is this fair Should you not have a say By signing this petition, you are telling associations like the OMHA, that this is no longer acceptable. Parents want more say in their child\'s hockey development.

It is all about the politics and not the kids. Hockey is supposed to be for them not just the associations power trips.

My son hated his coach last year but we were stuck because of these stupid residency borders. Total joke.

Ridiculous rules. We pay the fees and drive them to practice every day but have zero say in where they play. Needs to change.

So frustrating. We moved 5 mins away and had to fight to keep playing with our friends. Such a headache.
