Administrators Neil Brock Posted March 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2015 Many teams will operate a farm system involving one or more affiliate teams. They are primarily used for developmental purposes; the senior partner in the affiliation will look to station young prospects at the farm team in order for them to progress in a stable, controlled environment under their own umbrella before they’re ready to contribute at the next level. The farm team(s) themselves benefit by having their roster filled out with often talented players at a fraction of the cost it would take to do it themselves. Some leagues have positioned themselves in such a manner that they have become full-time affiliate partners to senior leagues and their primary remit is to prepare the stars of tomorrow for the rigours of top-level hockey. There are restrictions on player movement depending on age and experience, details of which can typically be found on a per-player basis by visiting the individual’s Information tab. The easiest way to move players back and forth between affiliates is by using the ‘Roster Management’ view from the ‘Roster’ screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
