Manitoba Moose

Today, the Manitoba Moose, the AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, announced their finalized Clear Day roster that was submitted prior to the American Hockey League deadline on Wednesday, March 10th at 3:00 ET. 

According to AHL by-laws, only those 22 players (20 skaters and two goalies) listed on a team’s Clear Day roster are eligible to compete in the remaining five weeks 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, only after their respective junior or college seasons are complete.

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

The Moose made one move prior to the deadline, loaning centre Marty Murray to the Milwaukee Admirals in exchange for left-winger Peter Olvecky.

Sixteen of the AHL’s 29 teams qualify for the 2010 Calder Cup Playoffs, the top four from each division. If the fifth-place team in the Atlantic Division finishes with more points than the fourth-place team in the East Division, it would cross over and compete in the East Division playoffs.
