Notes :

1. Players retiring from the league during a season due to injury are placed at the top of the waiting list during that season. However, players cannot retire from the league with the intention of avoiding the transfer procedures set out in BY-LAW 4.
2. Players who retire during a season due to injury are eligible to register for the following year.
3. Replacement Players are also eligible to register the following year except if doing so will cause the registration quota to be exceeded. When registration quotas are exceeded, such players will remain at the top of the club waiting list.
