Building a Roster

NBLC teams are required to have 5 Canadians on their rosters. Up to 7 other players can be of any nationality, for a maximum of 12 players per team. The NBL Canada requires all player contracts to expire at the end of each season, so teams must rebuild their rosters. Up to five players on each team can be protected to allow a team to maintain some continuity on the roster.
