can junior players play in a sanctioned summer league?

[TSK1020]

lets say New Zealand (winter during our summer of course) had a thriving junior league worth a kids time for improvement, ice time, competition etc etc. Would Junior A/B/C players be allowed to join or no? I guess tendered may be the more correct term but you get what im after. Happy to clarify as needed. Just not sure the contractual relationship between player and club in "off-season"

@bubbrubb231: Possible you'll get helpful responses to your question above in this "All other USA Amateur ..." forum. But you should post a duplicate in the Canadian Junior Hockey forum to improve your chances. Good luck.

That would be sticky. Most Junior teams would not want their affiliate/roster players playing in games that are not sanctioned and under their control but so long as you adhere to all rules set forth by both governing bodies there shouldn't be an issue. The biggest sticking point being the financial assistance that may be offered by the summer league. Another consideration being the fact that the body does need time to rest and recover after a season of 45-60 games and jumping across the world to play another grueling schedule might not be smart.
