16 Player Team Rosters, No Division Limit and Realignments if There is still a Government Restriction
As of August 23rd, 2020:
Please note that if there is still the government restriction that "sports teams can play in region-only cohorts of up to 50 players (mini leagues)" then we will have the following until the government restriction is lifted.
1. 16 Player Team Rosters: Teams can still have a team roster of 16 players. However, 16 players is the maximum. Teams can only have sub skaters and sub goalies from other teams within the same cohort and they would not count towards the 16 player team roster limit.
2. Regular Division Sizes: The divisions will still be regular in size. However, the division schedule will accommodate the government restriction of 50 players in a cohort by having groups of 3 teams play each other with a 14 day break before those 3 teams play against the other teams within the same regular sized division.
3. Roster Changes and Realignments: The team rosters can be changed and division realignments can be made during the 14 day breaks that comes after the groups of 3 teams play each other before they play the other teams within the same regular sized divisions.
In the event that the government restriction that "sports teams can play in region-only cohorts of up to 50 players (mini leagues)" is lifted during the season then we would make adjustments accordingly and lift the 16 player team roster limit and change the schedule so that it is no longer based on groups of 3 teams playing each other before they play the other teams within the same regular sized divisions after the 14 day breaks.
