Before the season begins, you will need to submit a Team Sign-up form which includes a preliminary roster. The WCHL Board will determine in which division your team will be placed.
A scheduling meeting will be held for each conference in September. All league games are required to be scheduled on this day. Each team play approximately 10-14 games, depending on the number of teams in each division.
When are team rosters due?
USAH Rosters are due by the first league game. A copy of the roster certified by the USAH state affiliate (AHAI, WAHA, etc) is due December 31. Rosters should be submitted to your Conference Representative.
What if I need to add a player to my roster after my team’s first league game?
Players may be added by submitting a supplemental roster. The supplemental roster should be submitted to your Conference Representative prior to the first game the player participates in. As an alternative, players can individually register with the WCHL, prior to participating in her first game. The supplemental roster shall also be certified by AHAI by December 31.
How many players can be on my team’s roster?
A team may roster a total of 25 players. Only 20 players are allowed to dress for a game.
What is the double rostering rule?
Players can only roster on two league teams, and they must be in neighboring divisions. However, organizations that have multiple teams that are not in neighboring divisions can double roster players per approval of the Board.
Each team can "host" a maximum of two double rostered players. This means that the host team is their first priority. For example, let’s look at a hockey organization called Our Team that has Green and Blue level teams. According to the double rostering rule, two Green players can play up on Blue, and two Blue players can play down on Green.
All double rostered players must declare to the league which team is the primary team prior to the first league game.
Goaltenders do not count toward the double rostered players. Teams are allowed to double-roster one goalie.
