The OMHA is looking for feedback from hockey centers with regards to interest in forming a BB Non-Body Checking Representative Program within Tri-County.
The Ontario Minor Hockey Association continues to review, assess and implement programming and
programming models in order to meet the ongoing needs of our Members.
Part of that process has included the demand and subsequent review for a non-body checking
opportunity at the Representative level at U14 and older.
The OMHA Representative Committee brought forward the following recommendation that was
presented and approved by the OMHA Board of Directors:
To implement non-body checking hockey for U14 and above classified as BB, beginning the 2023-
2024 season.
This change is the result of recognizing changes in the game of hockey. The priorities of the Ontario
Minor Hockey Association remain dedicated to player safety, providing young athletes with the
opportunity to best develop and acquire skills, and keeping as many players playing the game as
possible. We believe this new opportunity will satisfy all of these elements.
