Continued focus on creating and maintaining competitive teams at the
AA levels (U11-U18), while ensuring 'Whitby-first' representation on all high performance teams is a key priority for the WGHA.
As a result, the WGHA has made changes to existing Whitby residency and player import quotas for the 2023/2024 season.
2023/24 - Whitby Residency & Player Import Model
(based on 15 player roster scenario)
U11 - up to 3 imports; 75% Whitby Residency (12 players)
U13 - up to 6 imports; 60% Whitby Residency (9 players)
U15 - up to 7 imports; 47% Whitby Residency (8 players)
U18 - up to 8 imports; 25% Whitby Residency (7 players)
* Goalies are excluded from these scenarios
** Residency and player import models are reviewed annually
