PTS Processing

Release 

As per OHF Regulation E49 (“A player who resides in an OMHA LOR Centre/AAA Zone from Minor Atom to PeeWee 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 Minor Atom to PeeWee, 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 tryouts.
2. Player releases for Minor Atom to Peewee are at the discretion of the association in conjunction with the head coach.
3. Player releases, for each category of AAA/AA/A as needed, can be requested if you attend a tryout and are not invited back to the next tryout for that category.

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