LMLL - Local - Removal of Body Contact from Local League Hockey
Submitted By Lambeth Minor Hockey on Friday, April 10, 2015
At the
OMHA Board of Directors meeting of February 22, 2015, a motion was approved that
Body Checking will be
removed from all
OMHA recreational hockey programming.
Effective with the
2015-2016 season, the
OMHA will commence a
two year pilot project removing Body Checking from recreational hockey at the
Bantam,
Midget and
Juvenile divisions in those categories where Body Checking may remain, i.e.
Local League (LL), and
Minor Development (MD).
The
OMHA seeks to provide programming to achieve objectives consistent with
Hockey Canada’s Long Term Player Development (LTPD) model, and provide players with opportunities within the recreational stream of hockey best suited to their development.
