The record and the roster are 2008-09 REGULAR SEASON; postseason games appear in the results list marked as such and are counted in neither. Points per game divides the season total by games played, which is printed beside it, because a club that played 12 games and one that played 34 sit in the same table here. The conference record counts fixtures where both clubs share a conference TODAY, so an older season is grouped by present-day affiliation; the overall record is exact for every season. A roster row exists for a player who recorded a box score for this club, not for everyone who was on the team sheet, so a player who never left the bench does not appear.
