The feedback from parents regarding the current coach selection process is growing louder every day. We are meeting with board members before the town hall so put pressure on them by emailing the CMHA office right now.
April 11, 2016
The momentum behind these tryout reforms is undeniable and shows the board that our community demands real transparency. Post the link to your local hockey group on Facebook and text three other parents right now. Make sure everyone knows they need to attend the meeting at the arena.

Players before politics - let coaches pick the best teams at each level and give the players a chance to compete at each level - too many times politics and side deals ruin teams. Trickle-down gives coaches best chance to pick a competitive team.
It may be time to abandon the current 2 level Executive System we have in place that seems to be in nothing but Conflict and Struggling for Power of each other, and look towards a New Single Executive to oversee all of Caledon Hockey that places the importance back to where it should be , "HAVE KIDS PLAY HOCKEY FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME"
The trickle down process needs to be reinstated. It is the best way to determine what level the kids should be playing at as well as form the best matched teams at each level. This should not be a coach popularity contest. This is supposed to be about the kids - and development of their skills and their love of the game.
The current CMHA executive needs to answer for its recent decisions and actions. It is unfortunate that we have to resort to "forcing" an executive to be open and transparent with its decision. Ken Lowe CHRA Member
Total disrespect from CMHA taking over all authority of CRHA tryout process. Stepping in and removing teams and coaches from CRHA tryout process..
Also in response to Terry- and everyone else,.. I am sorry, This is not about hating anyone? or about fighting with people, its about addressing the reason why people leave this center and why many parents are now more then ever are registering their kids in the GTHL when their child first signs up for hockey rather then in Caledon - an opportunity i was advised to do by MANY when my child first started to play hockey. I ignored that advice and elected to register my child in Caledon from the start. I look at the opportunities these other families are afforded in the GTHL - Free to explore many many opportunities to play on different various AA- A and AE teams in that age group -not just one AA, A or AE team. Grant it these other teams may not be perfect, however you have choice and you have opportunity, You would be a fool not to consider this when your child starts hockey as evidence here shows all the problems with not giving players opportunities to play where they want in this center. there is a problem here that is evident- Ask yourself this- if you could turn back the clock or magically be released from Caledon and afford your child the luxury and freedom to explore many different teams freely would you not take that opportunity knowing what you know now? My advice to Caledon would be if you continue to refuse giving kids the opportunity to explore options in hockey then you do not deserve to have players sign up and surely will lose mass registration as is happening now in the younger age groups. its no mystery numbers are down- people are just getting wise and playing elsewhere that affords them options. Caledon will continue to lack registration should this continue. .........its not about hate-its about choice and opportunity, ...and those parents who know chose choice and freedom. if i was asked what to do by a young hockey family starting out in Caledon - it would be very difficult for me at this time not to advise them to register elsewhere.
what a disaster!, i see now why many parents elect to register their child outside of caledon to play hockey at the earliest of age. .... disgraceful whats happening....

I was going to sign this, but after reading comments it appears its mostly about fielding competitive teams rather then ensuring the kids get a positive experience and development - it seems most here don't give a rats behind about the kids playing-its all about winning. no thank you.
