Placed on Reserve?

[Growlers]

What does it mean when a player is placed on reserve in the ECHL?

The Growlers placed 2 players on it last night. Just wondering what is means.

Per previous ECHL announcements, a team is permitted to carry up to two players at a time on their Reserve List. This Reserve status provides teams a buffer beyond their Active Roster, allowing them to retain one or two able-bodied players in "reserve" rather than placing them on their 14-day IR list (where an unlimited number of players may reside but with restrictions).

Thanks for the info. I couldn't find much info on it.

I believe the reserve players don't count toward the cap. Only the (up to) 20 players on the active roster count toward the cap. They used to have a short term "injured reserve" which teams used to move players on and off the roster for cap purposes. A few years ago they removed the "injured" part and just call it reserve, since that's how it was used anyway.

REMEMBER, THE 21 player limit, of which 19 can be active, is only in effect for October
