===Roster policies===
The league [[salary cap]] was a maximum amount that could be spent on the entire player roster. Teams could apportion it among players as they saw fit. Certain players were given coaching duties to earn additional pay. The maximum salary cap for a rostered player was about US$4,500 every one to two months, depending on the roster size. However most players made about $2–3,000 every month. There were some rostered players that made the maximum every two months. There were no players in the league that made more than $4,500 per month. Rosters were limited to 23 players once the regular season began. An additional two players could be on the [[disabled list]] (which was referred to on some published rosters as the disabled/inactive list, and was sometimes used to ensure that a player under contract that a team does not wish to use was unavailable to opponents).
 
League roster rules gave each player an LS (Length of Service) rating, based on the number of full years the player had played professionally: Rookie, LS-1 through LS-5, and Veteran. Teams could carry at most four veterans and were required to carry at least five rookies. Some published rosters stated the LS rating of each player.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canamleague.com/rules.php|title=Can-Am League Roster Rules|website=canamleague.com|access-date=November 17, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081224110246/http://canamleague.com/rules.php|archive-date=December 24, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>
