From what I have learned. If you transfer schools to a different region you can play but if you transfer school in the same region you have to sit a year.

So if you are coming from Toronto to Peel you can. Peel public school to Peel catholic school you can't. This was to stop students from transferring to a powerhouse school just to get on a better team.

This is incorrect. Once you have entered high school, transfer rules apply to all students.

Any competition that leads to OFSAA qualification (i.e. playoffs, regional qualification tournaments, and OFSAA itself) is governed by province-wide OFSAA transfer rules.

All other play (league, tournaments, exhibition) is governed by each region's rules. While there are some differences between each region, moving between board/regions does not provide a loophole around the transfer rules.

I assume the issue that is causing the misconception has to do with the argument over players leaving one region to play at a school in a different region. Generally speaking, these are students coming out of grade 8 and entering high school. There are no province-wide transfer rules to govern this and almost no regional rules either. The exceptions in the GTA are Peel and, starting next year, Durham, which require an incoming grade 9 to play at either their catholic or public home school or sit out a year. (There are a few exceptions for regional academic programs, siblings already enrolled and the like.)
