A team can only use replacement players to replace long-term (more than 1 week) injuries (i.e. you cannot have a replacement player just because a player will miss a game, that is why each team has 14 skaters).

-Replacement players must be of the same skill level as the player he is replacing (A, B, C).

-All replacement players must be cleared by the League.

-Teams not following these rules will forfeit the game, no exceptions.
