Local reaction to this ‘voice from the gondola’ decree might best be termed, indif- ferent ferent. Both the Acton Minor Hockey Association (AMHA) and the Georgetown Minor Hockey Association (GMHA) are affiliated with the OMHA and have indicated they are quite content to remain with the association even if it means being regarded as out- laws by the OHF and the CAHA. GMHA president Hal Pells couldn’t be reached for com- ment on the issue, but Carson Mininch, a current vice presi- dent and former president, didn’t appear particularly per- turbed by the situation. “Other than perhaps affect- ing some AAA Zone teams, which our kids play on,” said Mininch, “I don’t think the CAHA decision will affect us that much.” Dave McIntyre, AMHA president felt much the same way. “Our kids will have a place to play hockey this year,” said McIntyre, “and that’s the bot- tom line.” The CAHA and the OMHA (with the support of the Metropolitan Toronto Hockey League (MTHL) have been at loggerheads for at least five years. In effect, ever since the creation of the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF). The OHF was created after the CAHA demanded that a single voice speak for the bulk of Ontario Hockey Associations.

The newly-formed OHF, under former Justice David Watt was to comprise the Association), (Ontario Hockey League), the NOHA (Northern Ontario Hockey Association) and women’s hockey in Ontario which previously had come under the OHA umbrella. Almost from the drop of the first verbal puck, person- ality conflicts combined with ‘circle the wagons’ protect our own turf stances by the associations involved in the fledgling OHF, virtually ensured lack of cooperation and little headway into mak- ing the oo a viable Ontario hockey voi CAHA reside, Murray Costello, last year literally told the organization to get its act together or face direct CAHA control, but this did little to settle things. Last year, the MTHL and the OMHA formed a voting block and virtually recom- mended that the OHA (which represents junior - but not major - intermediate and senior hockey in the province) be disbanded and once more, the ice chips hit the fan. According to an OMHA source, at this point, Justice Watt himself intervened, changed the voting structure to favor the OHA and this, in turn raised the ire of the OMHA. The OHF turned up the heat on the OMHA earlier in the year by granting status to the Minor Hockey Alliance of Ontario, representing 15,000 : youngsters (involving associ- h ations from London throug! Richmond Hill-VaugHan), allowed six other associations in the Kingston area to com- pete in Ottawa District and similarly allowed Powassan to play in the NOHA. Last month, the OHF refused entry to the OMHA, effectively disassociating the minor hockey association from the CAHA, for per- ceived wrongs. This means OMHA teams will not be permitted to com- pete in CAHA-sanctioned tournaments or champi- onships or play against International Ice Hockey Federation teams, including United States-based tean More on this and elated matters in Saturday’s paper.
