AHL Eligibility Rules

I'm looking for a confirmation on what the eligibility rules are for participation in the American Hockey League. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you played for four seasons in Junior (Kesler, Spezza)
If you are 20 years old as of sept 17th I believe

Thats what I think

Now, I thought Kesler played for Ohio State. Now somebody in Canadian Juniors would have be of 20 years in hockey age, but I think if they really wanted to bring over a European before that age they could (see Prospal, Vinny) but they usually don't because it would hurt junior programs in foreign countries. I'm not sure Kesler was 20 in hockey age either. I say the 20 thing is for Canadian juniors. I also say teams are allowed 6 players with over 300 games professional experience not counting the goalies.

I think there is a rule that you can play, after playing a certain amount of games, starting at Jr. B I believe.

I believe you can be in the A at the age of 19 as long as your birthday is before December 31st...I think.

I remember Shane Endicott playing for the Baby Pens a couple years ago when he was 19 and hearing something like that.

NCAA guys can play in the AHL anytime after being drafted.

CHL guys need to complete 4 years of Junior, or be 20. (Spezza)

Also CHL guys can report to AHL teams after their club team gets eliminated, this only happens when they are 19 or 20. For example, Tanguay played 5 games for Hershey as a 19 year old after Halifax was eliminated from the QMJHL playoffs.
