Continuity of Rosters
On February 8 the MAPLE commission approved the following revision of By-Law II 8a, to become effective for the 2011-2012 season:
Any MAPLE slot earned by the club is the property of the club, not the team, with the following restrictions:
Slots may not be transferred to another club.
Teams U14-U17 wishing to play D-1 must demonstrate a continuity of roster each year when they register a team. To demonstrate a continuity of a roster a team must maintain a minimum of 30% of the players from the previous year’s roster throughout the entire season. If the roster drops below this percentage based on circumstances not under the control of the coach the roster will be reviewed by the Commission. Teams must submit their current roster, along with the previous year’s roster, to the MAPLE office at the time of registration.
If a club chooses not to field a team in a slot or fails to field a team in a slot, the slot reverts to the league for reallocation in accordance with the established by-laws.
