Sept. 1 USHL 30-Man Protected Lists

Today, the USHL released its 30-man protected list for each team in the league for the upcoming season. 

League teams will next have to make the necessary cuts to arrive at their 23-man protected list by Sept. 24th at 1:00 pm EST.

By then, the league's pre-season games will have come to an end and the start of the regular season about to begin. At that time, each team must manage its 23-man roster according to USHL regulations, which are:

-- Teams must carry a minimum of three U18 players (2001 or 2002 birth years) on their active roster at all times.

-- Teams must carry at least two goaltenders on their active roster at all times.

-- Teams cannot carry more than five 20-year-olds on their active roster at a time, which must be reduced to four by the third weekend of the regular season.

-- Goalies do not count toward the 20-year-old player limit.

-- Teams cannot carry more than four import players on their roster at one time.

-- Teams can only carry one import goaltender on their roster at one time. A team is permitted to carry up to two Canadian import skaters (non-goaltenders) that will not count towards the aforementioned four import player limit.

-- Starting this season, any import goaltender, including a Canadian goaltender, will count as two players toward the four import player limit.

-- Beginning Sept. 25 at 12 PM CST, all roster moves will count towards the annual roster move limit. Players on both the 30-man protected and affiliate lists are eligible to play in USHL preseason games.
