U13 A, Rep (Whitchurch Stouffville Minor Hockey Association)

On December 17, 2024, the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) introduced a transformative change to the player movement policy. Starting next season, all players U10 and above will be able to play for any team in Ontario, across all levels (AAA, AA, A). This policy opens new opportunities but also presents challenges, especially for associations like ours that prioritize local development and community hockey.

More highly skilled Stouffville residents also have access to AAA ...
