Today’s the day! Evaluations begin.

For many players, this can feel exciting… and overwhelming at the same time. As parents, how we show up right now matters more than ever.

Let’s be mindful of the process and support them with a few simple shifts in how we approach it.

Keep it simple. Keep it positive. Keep it about them.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about where they land, it’s about how they grow through it.

🚨 NEW PATHWAY ANNOUNCED BY OMHA 🚨

The Ontario Minor Hockey Association has introduced a new process allowing teams to apply to compete outside their association’s base category in exceptional circumstances—including roster balance and competitive alignment.

While the criteria are rigorous and approvals are not guaranteed, this creates a meaningful opportunity for associations to better match teams with the right level of play.

Why this matters for GBI:
Coming off a season of strong performance and development, this opens the door to explore options—including potential AA placement—that better reflect team capability and support long-term growth.

An added advantage:
➡️ Moving from A to AA would NOT require a league change, helping streamline the process.

Of course, applications must meet strict Ontario Hockey Federation and OMHA standards, include detailed documentation, and ensure clear, transparent communication with families.

Bottom line:
The bar is high—but the opportunity is real.
This is a step forward in advocating for the right competitive environment for GBI players.
