Approval shall not be withheld without reasonable cause and disputes will be settled by the league convener.

In all age divisions, a player of a team in a lower age group or lower classification may play for a team of a higher age group or higher classification at any time., but If he plays more than five (5) games after January 10th with a team of a higher age category or higher classification as an affiliated player, he shall remain with the higher age group team or the higher classification team for the balance of the season.  No player shall be frozen to a higher age group or classification without approval of the appropriate Director of Representative Hockey.

A list of affiliated players must be on file by December 1st with both the K.M.H.A. and the Alliance before a player is eligible for affiliation in a league game.

NOTE: If a player is released off an affiliated list they cannot be reassigned to another list in the same season.
