Amalgamation
This is a repository of all Amalgamation related documents and information.
We will also keep current minutes and questions that have been answered and questions that we are trying to answer.
In an amalgamation we have to decide on our new boundaries. There are two types of boundaries: hard boundaries, and soft (right-of-choice) boundaries. Hard boundaries are just what they sound like, firm boundaries with all surrounding centres where all...
After a great deal of research and finally having received some actual documentation from the OMHA we have found that much of what we were told about voting at the beginning of the process was incorrect. We have also...
This e-mail between Roland Greber (MDMHA OMHA Rep) has some answers to questions that have been raised so far. Answers were given by Martha Dickie, Manager of Membership Services with the OMHA.

Questions and Answers
- What jerseys will we use? Will we buy all new jerseys?
- It is our intent to use the best jerseys that each organization currently has. OMHA rules require us to create and register a new crest as part of amalgamation. Beaverton/Cannington ordered new crests and had them sewn onto their existing jerseys at a cost of approximately $2800.
- What rink will we play out of?
-
Both organizations currently use their facilities at or near capacity we don't expect that to change. We do not know at this point exactly how the different facilities will be used, several ideas have been suggested:
- Hold games at Bewdley and practices at Millbrook
- In cases where we can run two house league teams run one at each rink to keep them "local"
- Will this effect Millbrook's desire to build a new rink?
- There is no reason to think it should, the Millbrook facility is old and needs to be replaced, with amalgamation we expect our demand on these facilities to increase not decrease!
- What are the legal costs of amalgamation?
- From Beaverton/Cannington we know that legal costs are around $5000. Alan Richter is a lawyer and has very generously offered to help defray those costs where possible.
- What will be the boundaries of the new centre? Will they be "hard" or "soft" boundaries?
- We're currently working on a map and are discussing the boundary issues. As soon as we have something presentable we will make it public.
- I'm currently Right-of-Choice what will happen to me?
- Read the letter between Roland Greber (MDMHA OMHA Rep) and Martha Dickie, Manager of Membership Services with the OMHA. There is a great deal of interesting information in that email.
