Updates
- 29 March 2024: The season schedule is reduced to six regular season games and two playoff matches with games now being held between 16 August and 18 August. Games between April and July are no longer applicable.
Bad idea….stupid idead…unless you’re from Melbourne of course. Rip-off for Newcastle and Qld and WA players who incur extra cost. AIHL participants should automatically be eligible for U20 selection.
It does seem odd to not count AIHL participation as sufficient for U20 eligibility. Hope that decision is revised at some stage.
