All rosters must be submitted as follows:

Each team’s regular season roster must be submitted to the Tournament Chair on or before July 15, 2023. This roster must be your regular league roster that was likely submitted to your home league by July 1, 2023.
Final rosters must be submitted to the Tournament Chair by August 1, 2023. This includes all players from any teams that are to be added to the roster for the MacDonald Cup.

2. All rosters must be approved by the corresponding Member Association.

3. Maximum roster size is as follows:

23 Runners (inclusive of all potential affiliates)

4. Rosters must comply with the following restrictons:

No player will have played four or more higher junior games (Junior B1 or Junior A) in any province for any team without approval of the tournament chair.
No players will be added to the roster after August 1, 2023. No other players outside of the rostered players, will be allowed to play in the MacDonald Cup without Tournament Chair approval, that approval will be based on unforeseen player concerns such as illness or injury etc.
Teams may pick up a maximum of 3 runners and 1 goalie from other teams in their home province, in compliance with their Member Association rules and processes, including U17 affiliates. The intent of these additions is to ensure teams have enough rostered players; the intent is not to allow teams to add significant players to make them more competitive.
