2020/21 House League Select Program
This page provides information and updates for the 2020/21 ORHC House League Select Program. For full Program Details please review the House League Select Manual.
*** Select Tryouts and Team Selection Process will be announced in October ***
The Oakville Rangers Hockey Club is pleased to announce that we will continue offering the House League Select program to our members for the upcoming 2020/21 season. While Select is considered to be more competitive than the House League divisions, it is still considered to be an extension of House League hockey. Therefore, the focus of Select is to offer the core values of the House League experience to players who would like to participate in a more advanced program.
Should you require any additional details or information please refer to the House League Select Manual, located at https://oakvillerangers.ca/Public/Documents/Manuals/ORHC_HL_Select_Manual_-_2020-21.pdf. If you have any questions please contact George Kish, VP of House League, at [email protected].
Program Overview
- The Select program is run as an adjunct to the House League Program and not a replacement
- The season begins in November ends in April
- The primary priority for each team member will be their commitment to play for their House League team and then fulfill the necessary obligations of the Select Team - demonstrating an equal commitment to both teams to the fullest extent possible
- Select teams will typically consist of 17 players. This will include 2 Goaltenders and 15 skaters (9 Forwards & 6 Defense). As the OMHA does not permit Affiliate Players (AP) for Select, a team may roster up to 2 additional players up to the OMHA roster limit of 19
- All Select players will be eligible to be identified as an AP for ORHC Rep teams
- Each team will be permitted to attend 3 tournaments for the year and play up to 3 exhibition games per month
- Each player will be assessed the appropriate portion of their Select team fee in addition to the House League registration cost
Participating Divisions
The ORHC is anticipating the following divisions will offer a Select Program in the 2020/21 season:
- U10 (Minor Atom)
- U11 (Atom)
- U12 (Minor Peewee)
- U13 (Peewee)
- U14 (Minor Bantam)
- U15 (Bantam)
While our intention is to ice a Select Program for all of the above divisions, our ability to do so is dependent on the interest of the players as well as volunteers to Coach and run the team. If either element is missing the ORHC will fold the team for the season.
