... Are confirmed: "The number of players on a gameday roster will remain at 20, comprised of 18 skaters and two netminders. A maximum of 15 non-homegrown players (imports) will be permitted on each team’s game day roster in the 2023/24 season. There is no change to the overall roster size for the season, which remains at 29 players including two-way players, but excluding injured reserve cover. The total number of non-homegrown players a team may sign in one season (excluding injured reserve cover) remains at 20." www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3155-roster-regulations-confirmed-for-2023-24 |

This section is interesting....
"Clifton Wrottesley, Ice Hockey UK Chair said "All parties acknowledge that, for instance, import levels have a significant effect on GB’s ability to develop home grown talent to the required level for the Elite League and the National Team. But we also acknowledge that Imports have played a significant role in helping the National Team get up to and back to the top tier of the World Championships.
"Import levels is one of several topics that we will all be turning our minds to when we meet."

From what they say in the full article sounds like they want to improve the quality of the "product" but also realise they could be jeopardising the development of homegrown talent in the future

Good that they've confirmed it.
Now just to be better at keeping visible track of all the roster changes throughout the season.

Good that they've confirmed it. Now just to be better at keeping visible track of all the roster changes throughout the season. That would be a good thing. But I doubt even that would scupper the seemingly inevitable signing more than 20 'work arounds' that some teams seem to manage *cough* Steelers loan deals *cough* |

It's bonkers that they are still persevering with this "injured reserve" and espcially "maximum import signing number" when the rules seem to be so opaque as to be impenetrable. There's no official tracking of who is what and what number import they are, the whole thing is a farce, from the fans POV at least. Don't forget, Panthers signed 21 imports last season. |
