If you do leave and make a team from another city, does that mean you're blacklisted from ever re-joining your home city in future years?
Why would you leave if you are ever concerned about going back?
Stick it out in your home organization until It gets better or your kid gets better.
Or leave in hopes of being on a better team and developing somewhere else.
You can’t have your cake and eat it at the same time.

An organization that blacklists a kid for going somewhere else is the very reason why a kid should go somewhere else.
It sounds like that organization isn't really in it for the kids at all. If they were, they'd be working diligently on solving the problems and making sure that players don't want to leave, not punishing them for highlighting the organization's problems.

At the AA level, London announced they will not take any kids from outside the city except for Lambeth (which is in London city limits).
AAA is open, but I can't see a lot of parents driving over an hour for practices and games. It is not worth it.
Anyone driving over an hour to play hockey needs some serious help.
You’d be surprised. There are many such confused parents planning to drive over an hour to play in the G. They assume that the G will ensure their kid magically becomes a superstar.
No, they are driving to the g for better coaches, better competition and better kids to play with
So do you really think that the G has all better coaches. Buddy you are so delusional. It seems you are one of those parents. I’m sure there are other centers on your 1.5 hour drive to the G.
lol and my kid and his team would wipe the floor with all of them…
The G doesn't necessarily have better coaches but people will move over for something shiny. OHF will have it cuboards bare this year as people will move and they don't run/recruit the way the G does.

I’d happily go anywhere that has a non-parent coach.

! More Associations.need to find GOOD non parent coaches, one of the biggest problems in minor hockey, Parent coaches who pick their friends and not the best team, IMO, if you a parent coach, the association should be part of assessing players and choosing teams!

Aside from picking their friends, they become with the gamesheet stats and manipulate players to benefit who they want to look better.

There are non parent coaches that are as bad as parent coaches. A lot of them have hockey schools and etc , so if you take their school you play and if you don’t have a seat on the bench.
There has to be a board group that reviews coaches during the year and react to any problems that arise.
Never will happen.

Amen
You would have to start paying association members then. Slippery slope then everyone will want it as a paid position and who hires the association people? More people tou would have to pay.
