For instance. the AHL requests approximately 21 player slots out of a roster of approximately 26 players. the other leagues are similarly situated where the number of requests for slots on temporary labor certifications is usually in the ballpark of 80 percent of the roster. Further. hockey leagues usually have a few if not more clubs that are located in Canada. Of course these players do not need H2Bs to play for a Canadian team. but in the event that they are traded during the season to a U.S. team. the acquiring team would have to file an H2B. This frequently presents problems when the numbers have been exhausted as the trade becomes dependent upon the availability of a visa number and not the professional needs of the team. In addition. players are signed throughout the season. this can also prevent teams from signing players if the numbers have been exhausted. This is particularly true at the end of the seasonusually March or April 1when the numbers have been exhausted and the need to sign players for playoffs and finals increases.
