iNTRODUCING THE 56 POINT SYSTEM
*APPLICABLE TO TEAMS WITH A ROSTER SIZE OF 9 SKATERS FOR DIVISION 1*
Effective immediately, MSHL is re-working the ranking system to better accommodate a more specific rank for each player.
Every previously ranked player would now be given a number rank. Using their magic number to amount to 56. Creating a variety of different combinations, as well so as introducing multiple number ranks, going alongside a players already established letter rank.
For example:
*Numbers in PURPLE are allowed to play in both Division 1 and Division 2*
Adding all of the numbers in BLUE would amount to 56 total. Of course that being if you're using the maximum rank for each player. Not every AAA player would be ranked M11, as well so not every AA player would be ranked M8, so on and so fourth.
The best of the best AAA players would receive the M11 rank, and the best of the best AA players would receive the M8 or M7 rank, etc.
A players rank is subjected to change season to season, and usually can only go up or down 1 number.
As well, as we all know; Division 1 is stronger than Division 2 caliber. This also prevents high tier AA players going down to play any games in hopes to boost a team for any game(s).
The plan for this structure is to be able to identify a players true rank.
This plan also ensures that Division 2 remains as fair as possible without giving the ability to the stronger AA players from going down and play.
*Please keep in mind, each team still has to follow the specific salary cap format. If for example a team is only using 45/56 total points, it doesn't allow them to have an extra AAA player at 10 or 11 points to reach 56/56.*
Maximum allowed salary cap for Division 1:
- 2x AAA
- 1x AA+
- 2x AA
- 1x A+
- 3x A
- 1x Goalie
