A:  Players first need to pre-register with MDMHA, and then obtain a Permission to Skate (PTS) form from MDMHA.  To obtain a PTS, please complete the PTS Request Form on the MDMHA website.  In addition, the player will also have to register for the AAA tryouts directly (i.e. Peterborough).

A:  Yes, if a Millbrook player is cut from Peterborough AAA, they can try out for another AAA zone if desired.  In which case, another PTS form is required.

Q:  When will I be able to pre-register with MDMHA?
A:  Online pre-registration will be open in early April, via the Registration page on the MDMHA website.  We will ensure that there is sufficient time to pre-register and obtain a PTS in advance of AAA tryouts.

A

Q:  Where can a Millbrook player try out for A?
A:  Only players at the U12 age division (and older) are eligible to try out for A.  Players can choose to try out for an A team at any Association within the OMHA.  Note that the closest A centres to Millbrook are currently Orillia and Quinte West.

Q:  Can a player try out for an A team at a AA Centre (e.g. Peterborough or Northumberland)?
A:  Non-resident players are not eligible to try out for an A team at a AA Centre, per OMHA Regulations.  So, they cannot try out for Peterborough A or Northumberland A, since those are both AA centres.

Q: Can a Millbrook player try out for AA and A?
A: No, players are only entitled to one (1) NRP Passport per season.  The NRP passport can be used to try out for a AA team, or an A team, but not both.
