Release

As per OHF Regulation E49 (“A player who resides in an OMHA LOR Centre/AAA Zone from U10 to U13 requires a release from his Centre of residence at AAA to tryout at AAA, at AA to tryout at AA, and at A to tryout at A with other teams in the LOR.”) and E54 (“From U10 to U13, teams must conduct tryouts and offer player registrations within the following timelines”) the following procedures with respect to player releases will be followed by all OMHA-LOR centres / AAA Zones:

  1. No player releases will be issued prior to evaluations.

  2. You must attend evaluations to obtain a release. If you are not invited back to attend the next evaluation, you may request a release from the coach at the end of the evaluation.

  3. Player releases for U10 to U13 are at the discretion of the association in conjunction with the head coach.

  4. Player releases are specific for each category (AAA/AA/A). If you obtain a release for AA, it only allows you to attend AA evaluations within the LOR. It does not allow you to attend A evaluations.

This procedure is in accordance with the LOR Regulation and there will be NO EXCEPTIONS.
