As we reach the final days of our A Evaluations and prepared for our BB Evaluations we are committed to developing our players. The landscape of Hockey is changing at a fast pace, and we thank those returning and welcome those that are new to the Brant Battalion organization. We are extremely excited to welcome our Athletes and families in U10A and U11BB as this may be the beginning of your Rep Hockey Experience.
The OMHA has announced league changes for the upcoming season. We will get more info on the way things will be shaped after the May 20th OHF meeting.
The biggest change is that both our A and B teams will now compete in Southern Counties as our home league. However; interlock games will also be scheduled as part of the season with both Shamrock and Alliance teams offering more games and increased competitive play throughout the season. This adjustment allows both Southern Counties and Shamrock to each receive a spot at the OMHA Championship, rather than sharing a single spot for all of Shamrock.
What does this mean for our players?
It means more diverse competition and exciting matchups, with our A teams getting the chance to play against local A/AA-level teams' next season. This change adds variety without adding much travel. U11B and U13B teams in Southern Counties will also benefit, taking part in interlock games with nearby Alliance U11BB and U13BB teams.
