ROSTER/TEAM COMPOSITION: Each team is permitted to carry a maximum of 19 players on its roster (17 active skaters along with 2 subs). Of those 17, 3 players can be “non-affiliated”. “Affiliated” players are: Active duty military (friendly foreign military included), Guard or Reserve military members, retired military or honorably discharged military, Police, Fire or EMS personnel. The 2 subs cannot be on another team roster and can only take the place of a player on the active roster. A team’s goalie will not tally toward the “non-affiliated” count (See below) or roster. Exceptions to the roster rule (ie: Individual skating out on one team in a different bracket and playing goalie for another team in a different bracket) must be coordinated with the Tournament Directors. IT IS THE TEAM CAPTAIN’S or MANAGERS RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY HIS/HER ROSTER BEFORE EACH GAME AT THE SCORERS TABLE AND SIGN THE ROSTER. The use of an ineligible player or over the 3 allowed nonaffiliated player rule will result in a default loss to the offending team.*

* GOALIE RULE: Goalies will not be factored into a team’s “non-affiliated count.” Teams are allowed 3 non-affiliated players with a civilian goalie NOT counting against that tally. If, at any time a civilian goalie is discovered to be serving in a capacity of anything other than netminder, that goalie will be counted against the team’s “non-affiliated rule” subject to the ineligible player rule detailed above
