AHL Releases Clear Day Lists

March 11, 2010 - American Hockey League (AHL) News Release


SPRINGFIELD, Mass.... The American Hockey League has released the Clear Day Period rosters for each of its 29 member clubs. Each Clear Day roster consists of a maximum of 22 players.

According to AHL by-laws, only those players listed on a team's Clear Day roster are eligible to compete in the remainder of the 2009-10 AHL regular season and in the 2010 Calder Cup Playoffs, unless emergency conditions arise as a result of recall, injury or suspension. Teams may also add signed junior players or players on amateur tryout contracts after their respective junior or college seasons are complete.

The complete list of Clear Day rosters can be found on theahl.com.

Sixteen of the AHL's 29 teams will qualify for the 2010 Calder Cup Playoffs, which will get under way during the second week of April. For complete qualification rules and up-to-date standings, as well as for Calder Cup history, records and all-time championship rosters, visit theahl.com.

The AHL's championship trophy is named after Hockey Hall of Famer Frank Calder, who served as the first president of the National Hockey League from 1917-43. During the 1920s, Calder was instrumental in guiding professional hockey into the mainstream of the United States' major cities, including New York, Boston, Chicago and Detroit, while also helping in the formation of the American Hockey League.

In operation since 1936, the AHL continues to serve as the top development league for all 30 National Hockey League teams. More than 85 percent of today's NHL players are American Hockey League graduates, and more than 6.5 million fans per season have attended AHL games across North America since 2001. Over the past 74 years, the AHL has been home to more than 100 honored members of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
