This should allow for smaller schools to enter teams by supplementing their numbers from outside the school. It also works for individuals who leave school to still play hockey in their age group. Under the old system a 16-year-old who leaves school would be forced to play in an adult club team. This allows those players who are first year out of school but still U18 to continue playing in their age bracket.
