Q. I am moving to Cobourg/Port Hope from another centre that is not part of the OMHA (GTHL, out of province, etc.) - does that make a difference? |
|
|
A. Yes it does! Per OHF regulation E.99, if you are transferring from another hockey centre that is outside of the OMHA, you will also need to submit this Minor Hockey Player Residential Form. |

A. No – you must reside in Cobourg/Port Hope prior to tryouts. |

|
|
A. As long as you can satisfy all documentation requirements above, including an affidavit that proves more than 50% of the player’s time is spent with the Cobourg/Port Hope parent, and the player attends school in Cobourg/Port Hope, then the player will be eligible. |

|
|
Q. Can I register before you approve my residency request? |
|
|
A. No – the Hockey Canada Registry will block all activity by NMHA until such time that the residency request is processed. |
|
|
|
|
|
Q. I don’t agree with this residency stuff and I am going to file a false move. |
|
|
A. You should be aware that every Residency/Move request and all documentation is thoroughly investigated by the OMHA, and any false claim or misleading information may result in player suspension for a prolonged period of time, regardless of association (Hockey Canada). |
|
|
|
|
|
Q. What is the process between the NMHA and the OMHA? |
|
|
A. Your documents will be reviewed by the NMHA for completeness, accuracy and format. Should they pass this preliminary review, the NMHA will upload each document to the player’s permanent member profile on the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR). Once each document has been uploaded and accepted by this secure program, an OMHA representative will review the submission for authenticity and completeness. The OMHA will then a)approve, b)decline, or c)investigate for possible fraud the move, and will notify the NMHA accordingly. Once notified, the NMHA will notify the member of the decision and next steps. |
