 Otonabee Minor Hockey U7 Program Vision:

To provide effective U7 hockey programming to all Otonabee residents, returning players, and new players that are not Otonabee residents

Our U7 programming follows the Hockey Canada development models and complies with the OMHA guidelines for U7 hockey

To maintain effective programming, we must limit the number of participants on the ice. We can accept 90 U7 players for the 2025-2026 season (Our U7 program is for players under 7 years of age as of December 31st). 


U7 Registration Process:

We will accept registrations in a priority order:

1)      Otonabee residents

2)      Returning players from last season

3)      Siblings of returning players

4)      All other players

To start, we will register all priority 1 and 2 players.  

We will accept registrations from priority 3 and 4 players but will not guarantee them spots in the program.  They will be placed on a waiting list and our numbers will be re-evaluated on a weekly basis.


NEW PLAYERS

Please contact our Registrar, Liz Crowley - [email protected]

A member of the Executive will contact you for a copy of your child’s birth certificate.

If you are registering your first player ever as a parent for hockey in Ontario you must complete the Respect in Sport Parent Course mandated by the OMHA. 




RESPECT IN SPORT PARENT COURSE

Only One parent is required to complete the Respect in Sport Parent Course (RISP), again this is done after your child has been registered.  This is a one-time only course.  Your child cannot be rostered to a team until this is completed.  Full information about the Respect in Sports online parent course and link can be found HERE

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

 

 Eligibility:

All players who want to play with Otonabee Minor Hockey are welcome.  However, we must adhere to the OMHA rules and regulations.  Any player across the province can come and play in our Leo League (House League.)  There is no restriction and you need no release from your current organization to play in Otonabee.  

However, if your intention is to play on our Rep teams, there is a restriction enforced by the OMHA, based on your residency.  This eligibility requirement can be found in the OMHA Handbook.  Also in many cases, you must be registered with your home association before you can be allowed to change centers


Proof of age:

All new registrants will be required to provide a copy of their Birth Certificate at the time of registration.


Division:

The registrant will always register for the age appropriate division based on the OMHA Age Reference Chart for the current year.  

It is possible to play up or down a division but this is a case-by-case decision made by the Otonabee Minor Hockey Executive according to our operating procedures.  A movement must also be approved by the OMHA.  It is the exception, not the rule.
