Press Release
With
the Hockey Canada roster deadline on Saturday Dec. 1 potentially
leading to a number of player transactions, the British Columbia Hockey
League is clarifying its policy on trade reporting at deadline time.
For any transaction made after 11:59 p.m. PST on Friday, Nov. 30, BCHL
team personnel are required to wait until 10 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2 to
release details. Only after that time are they permitted to discuss
transactions with media.
The absolute Dec. 1 deadline for
transactions between separate leagues (i.e. BCHL to AJHL), is 6 p.m.
Pacific. For moves made within the BCHL, the absolute deadline is 8 p.m.
Pacific.
Teams not in compliance with this league regulation are subject to a fine.
Trade information will be also be posted on the BCHL website at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2.
The Dec. 1 deadline reduces the number of player cards available to
all Canadian Junior A hockey clubs to 25. As BCHL active rosters are
capped at 22 players, each team would have a maximum of three cards to
use to sign new players for the rest of the season.
