Answer

The ECHL is recognized by the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and NHL Players' Association. This means that players in the ECHL are subject to the same rules and regulations as players in the NHL, including the salary cap. This is in contrast to other minor leagues, such as the AHL, which are not recognized by the NHLPA and therefore have their own set of rules and regulations.
