Player Entry

• The teams submit the names of the participating players at the first Championship Directorate.
• The maximum number of players allowed on a Team Registration Form at the beginning of the World Junior Championship is 22 skaters and 3 goalies - and thus higher than usual due to the special Covid-19 conditions. The minimum is 15 skaters and 2 goalies.
• At the first Directorate meeting, the teams must name at least the minimum number of 15 skaters and 2 goalkeepers. The players entered must be present at the championship venue by the time of the Directorate meeting.
• The remaining players up to the allowed maximum of 22 + 3 must be submitted for players' control two hours before any of the following championship games. Players can be added throughout the tournament until the roster is full.
• During a game, a team may enter (dress) 20 skaters and 2 goalkeepers on the Official Game Sheet, with the emergency goalkeeper standing by if a goalie entered to the Official Game Sheet is unable to play.
