AEA Salary Cap System
Comparable teams, great competition, is what makes winning one of our cups a true reward.
Comparable teams, great competition, is what makes winning one of our cups a true reward.
The AEA Salary Cap System is a way to make a teams within our brackets more comparable and competitive during a tournament. Each bracket at the Silver Puck Challenge and Dekes & Dangles tournaments will be given a dollar value that their team should be between.
We understand that the AEA Salary Cap System is not perfect, but it has helped greatly in making captains and teams more aware of their rosters overall skill level. We don't want stacked teams at our events. We want all teams to have a chance at hoisting one of our cups.
