For the 2022-23 season, the new association will remain 'A' classification. It is our intention to remain an 'A' center, however, OMHA could overrule that classification for the 2023-24 season.
With the new association being formed, any player that lives within a shared boundary area for the new association will have a new right of choice. This only applies to current EMHA/SMHA players that may want to move to another association within their shared boundary area. This does not apply to players that have already made a right of choice and are playing for a different association. They cannot elect to return to EMHA/SMHA. The board recognizes that there may be a lot of questions surrounding this topic and have set up a form for parents to inquire. Please use the link below if you want to know if you are in a shared boundary area.
