ECNL players on RL team

[Anonymous]

Are ECNL registered players allowed to ‘help’ same club RL teams during the regular season or be added to the RL’s playoff roster?

Not sure about playoff rules but they can definitely help during the year. We are a big club and they are the only kids that can help when the RL team is down players because they are the only ones US Club rostered.

For regular season, per ECNL competition rules: "For all clubs who participate in both the ECNL and the ECNL Regional League during the same season, no ECNL Regional League game day roster may include more than 4 Primary ECNL Players unless approved by the specific Regional League’s executive leadership (the “Executive”) in advance in writing, at the Executive’s sole discretion."

For playoffs, "2.10.1.3. Regional League Competition to Club Competition. An ECNL Registered Player who participates in an ECNL Regional League Playoff Event may be rostered to an ECNL Team in the ECNL Playoffs provided they are age eligible to participate for that team. However, only three (3) players per age group who are rostered on an ECNL Regional League Playoff Event may also participate in the ECNL Playoffs at the ECNL Club Competition level."

So for playoffs, if your ECNL team is not going to playoffs or showcase, you can basically swap out the entire ECRL team for the ECNL team and play them in the ECRL playoffs. Have seen this done before.
