Revisiting Skates question about the block recruitment rule, even if the rule applied to CAHA/AA, I am not sure whether it would apply to Shand. There was a lot of controversy last year at the Bantam A/AA level about a Wave team that cam over en masse from the Ducks. They did not meet the 50% PDR that applied last year but were allowed to play at the A level and somehow retained playoff eligibility. Don't know if there was a waiver, or if the rule is not meant to apply to a coach bringing kids with him, as opposed to raiding another club.
