What are the import rules in the SEHL? How many elites? And who can be claimed as “locals”? And what proof is needed for a team to claim someone as local?

Not sure how many games. Each team is allowed 3 imports. Player is no longer classified as an import after playing 3 consecutive years with the same team. There may be a rule about so many years after playing Junior that declassifies you as an import. If you played Junior and are playing for your hometown, you are not an import. I may have missed something, but I think this is mostly right. |

So why does the website not have each p,Ayer’s designation listed like most other leagues? Wapella clearly has too many imports. Or does no other team care?

I just learned the SEHL had a 3 inport rule a couple weeks ago. With how so many of these rosters are constructed, I would've sworn there's zero cap. |

That’s when people start to move to their new towns in September and get counted as local. |

I just learned the SEHL had a 3 inport rule a couple weeks ago. With how so many of these rosters are constructed, I would've sworn there's zero cap. Rightly so, why not make it open. If teams are going to go above and beyond and doctor up where players are living, why not just abolish this import rule. Obviously teams are not following it, or the league just isn’t enforcing it like they should. Better players do make better hockey to watch, the only thing I can see wrong is some teams can afford more of a payroll. But then again people will say, do fundraising. When does it come more about the local talent then an arms race. I guess if teams don’t like it they could always join the PMHL where it doesn’t matter if you’re local or not, if you played higher then such caliber of hockey, you are an import. (Or so i heard) |

The only teams in this league that follow the import rules are Swan, Canora, churchbridge, Esterhazy, and preeceville.
Lang, Cote, Rocanville, Theodore, Wapella all have to many imports.
Stackhouse needs to get ontop of this or this league will become a disaster and teams will be done in a year or two. The way Langenburg is using 3 other towns and getting to pull in Junior player as non imports is brutal.
There must be something in the rules that allows you to pull junior players from within 150km radius. As long as the combined population is under 5,000 population. Like was mentioned before might as well remove any import rule if you aren’t going to make it cut and dry what is allowed and what isn’t.

Not a warriors guy here, but which players are you referring to on their roster ? Same with the other teams. |

Kirkup Zimmer Rogoschewsky Brook J Thompson The other Thompson That is 5 guys who all played Junior A or higher. Be curious to see where they all live because none of them are over 35 years of age I think. None have played 3 consecutive seasons with Lang. This is their “third” season. |

Wapella imports too:
N. Murray (Regina)
T. Murray (Regina)
C. Yellowhorn (Alberta)
C. Schaber (Alberta)
R. Hunter (Brandon)
R. Poole (Manitoba)
That is 6 non-local "imports".

I believe it’s around 120km radius of the town and 5000 population. Something along those lines. Zimmer and Josh Thompson are from Russell. Brook is from Roblin. Guessing Mike Rog is an import along with kirkup.

The rules are crazy in this league. 3 imports, 3 consecutive years, 5,000 population, over 35 years of age. Until that gets changed there will be lots of imports on every team. There’s not a team hardly in the province that would win with just locals. Just locals and losing games only brings fans for so long.. winning brings fans! Teams that say “we’re just going local” is saying they couldn’t convince any imports to join their team. When Rocanville won for the last 10 years how many locals did they have on the team? 2-3 a year at most.

I think what everyone is saying is along the correct lines. I believe you are allowed 3 imports. The other part of the equation that people forget is the centers. I'm not exactly sure how the centers work, but teams declare certain towns as centers that count toward their population with the total being 5000. I'm not sure if certain towns can both claim a center or not. If a player is from the that center then they don't count as an import. I think the centers are declared at the beginning of the year and can't be changed. I could be wrong about this, but as far as I can tell from talking to a few people involved with teams this is how teams can add players who otherwise would be counted as imports.

You can add towns population up to 5,000 within a 120km radius of your team regardless if they played pro hockey or not. |
