Rated players not on the pro roster for a franchise will play on the farm. In the interests of keeping the best veterans on SICHL pro rosters, some players must clear waivers before passing from the pro roster to the farm roster.
Players must clear waivers if they meet both of the following criteria:
Players who earn a salary of $1,500,000 or more have a "one-way" contract and may NEVER be assigned to the farm roster.
E.g. Any player who is 23 years old or younger making less than $1,500,000 may move freely between the pro roster and farm roster.
