BCHL Roster Numbers Heading into January 10th Deadline

Written by Brian Wiebe on January 9, 2020

With the Hockey Canada roster deadline and BCHL trade deadline coming up tomorrow at 4 pm PST, we’ve crunched the numbers to show each team’s number of roster players, 20-year-olds (or 1999-born), under-17 players and imports.

These numbers may change in the next 24 hours, but this is where they stand right now. The Canadian Junior Hockey League had a inter-league transfer freeze which was lifted on January 1st.

Teams are allowed 23 players overall on their roster, of which no more than six can be 1999-born players and no more than six can be import players. Only American-born players are considered imports.

Wenatchee has a completely different set of rules when it comes to what’s considered an import. Players not considered imports for the Wild are those from Washington State, California, Colorado, Arizona and Missouri. The Wild’s imports are also broken down into being allowed four Canadian players and four players from outside its region and boundaries.

This should show what some teams are able to add or subtract when the deadline arrives. As always, any corrections and comments are welcome.
