Juvenile Representative – the new 2018-19
Executive will decide if Otonabee hosts juvenile hockey. This decision is expected in May after the
Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Other Options
for Representative Level Hockey
AAA Hockey is available to all of us in the Peterborough
Zone. A Permission to Skate form is
required to attend tryouts in April.
Contact the Otonabee Registrar for a PTS form. Typically there are costs associated with
tryouts.
All players Novice and above have the right to attend
tryouts for representative hockey. If
Otonabee is not offering rep then a release form is available, upon request, to
attend tryouts in the next closest center based on your residency. The next closest center for Otonabee players
is usually one of Douro, Norwood, Peterborough, or Millbrook. Contact the Otonabee Registrar for a release
form. This is a release for a single
season only – you must return to Otonabee next season.
Players peewee age and above also have the right to
attend tryouts for either AA or A hockey in Peterborough. Each AA or A team is allowed to have up to 3
non-resident players (NRP) on their rosters.
You need an NRP Passport from Otonabee to attend these tryouts. Contact the Otonabee Registrar for an NRP
form. As well you need to understand and
follow the PHA’s rules for tryouts. Typically
there are costs associated with tryouts. There is a lot of information online
at https://peterboroughhockey.com/Pages/8250/Tryout_Info_IMPORTANT/
As well peewee aged players and above who have joined us
from Peterborough now have the option of trying out for Otonabee rep if they
have attended rep tryouts in Peterborough.
If you attend the Peterborough tryouts and are not offered a roster
position then you can ask for an NRP Passport from Peterborough to attend rep
tryouts Otonabee.
