Jessica (aka. digitalfrost) submitted a very good explanation about the entire minor league hockey system, including the junior leagues, on the grrrowlfan board. With her kindest permission, she has allowed us to re-print it here: The ECHL is generally accepted as the second tier, but whether or not we share our second tier status with the WCHL and/or the UHL has been the subject of long (and sometimes, shall we say, unpleasant) debates. Below us definitely is the CHL (Central Hockey League).

All of my minor league stats are from the 1990's, but I may look at adding those at some point. For current minor leaguers, I recommend BaseballAmerica.com. The Baseball Cube has a good deal of minor league numbers as well. We hope to add a lot of minor league stats during the 2006 off-season.

There are two separate lists of players for minor league teams: the "active list", and the "reserve list". Players may be transferred between these lists before the start of each game, but only players who are on the "active list" at the start of the game can play in a particular game. The "reserve list" includes all players on the "active list". AAA and AA teams are allowed 24 players on their "active list" for the first 30 games.

League matches are determined by comparing the point values for each move in the wrestler's strategy for that night. A number of other things factor into the overall result of a league match; total points scored, equipped items at the time of processing, experience modifiers, and more. In the WBWF, the only manager that can attend a match at ringside is the one who initiates the challenge.
