The difference is...in Alberta...the league honours SR AAA rules.

Other Provinces have leagues which have supplemental rules which are league specific. It's the choice of certain teams to enter those leagues while also registering at SR AAA level. In the AC tournament...the league rules are NOT bindng. Only SR AAA guidelines are in effect
So your saying newfoundland doesn't honour AAA rules?

im not "saying" anything. I just stated some facts.

Among SR AAA, there are teams who don't play in any league at all. There are teams who play in a SR AAA League and there are teams who play in lower tiered SR Leagues.



The facts are: That a majority of SR AAA teams belong to a SR AAA League and they cannot affiliate each other's players because they're all at the same tier. In Newfoundlamd, the league doesn't really clarify what tier it is. They simply declare the league champion to be SR AAA level and this somehow ends up meaning that the rest of the league is SR AA, therefore qualifying the rest of the league as affiliate options.

Personally, this is more than a bit questionable & equally confusing.

To me...if the team that wins your league goes on as a SR AAA Team...the league is operating as a AAA LEGSUE. Clarenville should not be allowed to affiliate other players in the CWSHL. They should be allowed to affiliate players from a lower tiered league...just like everybody else.

No different than most years. The local province typically features more than one tournament participant.

And to be fair...there are some advantages the host team, as well as "the other host team" will get which are no different than past host teams. I'm not denying this at all.

I just think some people on this board have a really hard time understanding affiliation rules & usage.

Because the trophy is over 100 yrs old and when you say this one will be the best ever it makes you sound like a homer.

Wade if he is a homer, what's wrong with that? Doesn't every fan hope that their HOST province and Rink be the best ever.

On a side note, I am willing to bet it will be the best attendance on in the last decade IF not much longer.

Attendance numbers will be huge. Bigger rink with bigger seating capacity and 2 local teams who both draw very well.

Is there anything wrong with being a homer? Nope. Can see it coming from a mike away though. Haha
