The Hockey Moms Podcast
Open Borders, BIG Conversation
In this episode of The Hockey Moms Podcast, Meaghan and Ashley dive into the Ontario Hockey Federation’s (OHF) new Open Borders policy, which will allow players to choose any team in Ontario, regardless of where they live, starting in the 2025–2026 season.
What does this mean for families, communities, and the overall landscape of minor hockey? They discuss how clubs are promoting themselves, the business side of hockey, and the impact on scheduling, coaching, and competition.
Ashley shares her personal experience of navigating tough decisions about where her child would play, while Meaghan reflects on how coaching styles have shaped her kids' hockey journeys.
Plus, they tackle the big question: Would you interview a coach before your player tries out for a team? Get ready for a candid and insightful conversation about what this change means for the future of minor hockey.
