Collaboration with Ottawa East:

We believe it's crucial for players to be able play on teams approriate for their skill level.  As we have seen a decline in Ottawa Centre and Ottawa East's numbers, we recognize that the two organizations are becoming too small to properly tier players into A, B, and C levels and to make teams of an appropriate size in all divisions.
