U18 AA, 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. 

One of the 3 pillars of our training and development strategy is Off-Ice Training, and to support that, we have partnered with Dr Cassidy Preston, a leading sports psychologist. In these sessions, Dr. Preston will offer clear expectations for parents behavior, based on applied experience and academic research. They set a standard for parents to help avoid common mistakes and follow best practices to optimize the impact on your child, the team, and the organization as a whole.

The WSMHA is looking for volunteers to help with our annual Rostered Select tournament the weekend of March 31 to April 2, 2023. This tournament was started about 12 years ago and has grown from 26 teams to over 80 teams the past few years. 

For the 2023-24 season the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) has principally approved U10 to U18 player evaluations for the 2023-24 season to be conducted during Spring 2023. This change is a result of a request by the OHF to Hockey Canada based on the feedback and direction of our Associations and membership, including WSMHA. Tryouts will occur in 7-day windows: AAA: begin April 24 AA: begin May 1 A & Below: begin May 8 Please stay tuned to the WSMHA website as additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
