The rule is for 16 and 17 year olds. Alot of players play in other provinces.
I haven't watched Junior A in a long time but I don't remember that ever being a rule. I don't remember 16 year olds but I'm sure there were some out of province 17 year olds who played for our team the OCN Blizzard. I remember going to highschool with some.
