WHAT IS OHA "CLUB 90?"

"CLUB 90" is an outcome of the OHA's Tomorrow's Game Initiative that was initially developed in 2008 to standardize and improve the operations of all Junior Hockey teams in the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA). This was, and still is, a significant achievement in the operation of hockey programs within Canada.

In consultation with our member teams in each junior hockey category, both mandatory and recommended standards were established and approved by the OHA. These standards included a wide range of areas in the overall operation of hockey ream including but not limited to - on ice considerations, hockey and business operations, volunteers, and the team’s online presence.

A number of independent evaluators were summoned to conduct audits on all OHA teams (120 approximately). The first base line audits were completed in 2012 and secondary audits were completed in the 2014-15 season.

The OHA Board of Directors implemented the "CLUB 90" program to recognize those member teams that, through these independent audits, achieved a score of over 90 percent of all mandatory requirements and 80 percent of recommended requirements, as established through our OHA Tomorrow's Game project. All OHA teams were audited in the 2014-15 season.

It remains our goal to have all OHA teams achieve this threshold, but we strongly believe that the teams who have met this criteria at this time should be recognized by their peers and be able to utilize this significant achievement to continue to further the quality standards that their hockey program has accomplished.

The OHA would like to again recognize the financial and operational support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation in the development and execution of this project. Without this support, this ambitious project would not have succeeded. It provided our teams with direction and resources to succeed, as well as providing players and their families with assurances that we strive to provide the best quality junior and senior hockey programs within the OHA.

Oddly no Leamington, LaSalle or London in the West. Three organizations that most folks would consider well run. I wonder where they fell short.

[flyers2011]

Yeah strange 3 of the top teams in the conference did not make the lost. Curious as well to what they lost marks on.

[RecKing]

Only reason I can Leamington and London not making the list is their "online presence" which as far as home website info goes could be better; LaSalle's exclusion may be due to management. All three are well-run organizations and probably should have been on that list - they couldn't have missed the mark by much - and it sounds as if the criteria used included every and aspect of each club.

[RecKing]

Oops last line should have read - "every area and aspect of each club"

[Marcie]

Social media is one of the graded areas and certianly LaSalle and Leamington have very active facebook and twitter feeds. I don't think any team is more active in their community than LaSalle. The one area we can't see is if the teams pay their league dues and player fines in time. There are deadlines for dues, fees and fines. If the team treasurer doesn't get those cheques out in time I'm sure that would go severely against them.

[flyers2011]

The Vipers definatley have the flyers beat with there social media and Lasalle and there affiliate lakeshore are always in the community. Leamimgton is in the community as well but not very often is it on social media. Flyers website header still has players that havent been there for 2 yrs.

@GOJHL_Problems @GuelphCanes Likely solvable. To give up on an account that has the logo you own & is rightfully yours is wrong way to go.
