\par }{\b\insrsid4943475 Main goal }{\insrsid4943475 = balance the AA league to make all teams competitive every year }{\insrsid8533111 .}{\insrsid4943475 
\par }{\b\insrsid4943475 Second }{\insrsid4943475 = to make sure we (ODMHA) AA teams (will be AAA) are competitive at the provincial level, "excluding the private league in Toronto (GTHL)".
\par }{\b\insrsid4943475 Third}{\insrsid4943475  = we have the best program to developp a good quantity and a great quality of hockey players.
\par 
\par }{\b\insrsid4943475 Some facts and statistics:
\par }{\insrsid4943475 1) look at the spread sheet attached regarding results from the past }{\insrsid8533111 5}{\insrsid4943475  years.
\par \tab - Kanata is groing from 25 % to 4}{\insrsid8533111 2}{\insrsid4943475  % 
\par \tab - biggest challenge is Seaway around 20 %
\par \tab - second improvement Eastern Ontario and Rideau around 40%
\par \tab - low density population VS high density population
\par \tab \tab - you don't need a pool of players as big in city (high density pop.) }{\insrsid8533111 compare with \'93}{\insrsid4943475 country}{\insrsid8533111 \'94}{\insrsid4943475  (low density pop.)}{\insrsid8533111  The main factor is the traveling time
 for practices and home games, so the commitment from parents is bigger.}{\insrsid4943475 
\par \tab \tab - bigger is the "country pool" (bigger territorry), heavier is the travelling (in time and money), so you eliminate good prospects.
\par 2) most of our teams are competitive in tournaments (in the province) and at the provincial (excluding the private league in Toronto)}{\insrsid8533111 . How to confirm this fact ? 
Look at tournaments played in the province at the AAA level as well as the provincial tournament.}{\insrsid4943475 
\par 3) Our AA teams compete (most of them) in AAA tournaments, so they are AAA teams in the province standards.
\par 4) by balancing the existing AA league we will be in position to call it AAA and have }{\insrsid8533111 \'93}{\insrsid4943475 all}{\insrsid8533111 \'94}{\insrsid4943475  our teams compete in AAA tournaments}{\insrsid8533111 , at every group of age}{
\insrsid4943475 .
\par 5) we have our share of scouted players in OHL}{\insrsid8533111  (approx. 25 per year, so we have our share)}{\insrsid4943475 . Don't forget the high density of scouts in Toronto area and the low budget they have to scout.}{\insrsid8533111  For the \'93
scouting\'94 of our players, some of the scouts recommend that we play more tournaments in Toronto area.}{\insrsid4943475 
\par 6) Country sructure (district III for example combined 7 distants associations) and city structure are very different not just in the organisation but in the day to day operation. In the city they are figuratively in the same building}{\insrsid8533111 
 and part of the same association}{\insrsid4943475 .
\par 7) New rules in NHL and OHL giving better opportunity to skilled players to play a better game (faster and more ski}{\insrsid8533111 l}{\insrsid4943475 led game).
\par  
\par }{\b\insrsid4943475 Proposal
\par }{\insrsid4943475 1) Merge of Eastern Ontario with Seaway for a total of appox. 3200 pool/players
\par 2) Osgoode, Perth and Lanark go from Valley to Rideau.for a total of approx. 3400 pool/players
\par 3) North Leeds go from Rideau to Kingston for a total of approx. 3,400 pool/players
\par 4) Valley have now approx. 4,600 pool/players
