We all know team uniforms are important. Beyond obvious reasons like a visual marker of your teammates on the ice, uniforms foster a sense of pride, identity, unity, equality, and more.  As our hockey program evolves and matures, we will continue to make improvements in this area. In the coming seasons we will roll out guidelines for helmet colors. Perhaps there will be opportunities for custom team gloves and pants or pants shells.  Many coaches already have guidelines for lace or stick tape colors. We always welcome input from our community.

• With input from our families and the Steering Committee a new look was created. The unique green/maroon color combo was kept, but married to a more traditional sweater look with classic stripes and collegiate numbers and lettering.

JERSEY NUMBERS

Returning Athletes

Congrats, you already have a number and unless you are moving up to a new age division, then your number is safe.  If you like, then keep it. That's our recommendation.  

Please double check one thing. Look for your number in the table below in the column for your birth year. It should be there as the data is based on last season. If it isn't email the Equipment Manager to get it added. If there are any number conflicts the Equipment Manager will contact you to resolve.  If you want a new number, follow the instructions below as if you were a new player. 

New Athletes

1. Start with your athletes birth year.  Born in an even year, then select an even number. Odd year, odd number.
2. Next, take a look at the table below. DO NOT select a number from this table. This is a list of all numbers in use from last season and are held for returning players.  
3. If your desired number isn't available, pick an available number and continue with your season registration. Check back a few days after the registration deadline as new numbers will be released. Email the Equipment Manager to make any edits to your number choice. 

Jersey Number Conflicts

Jersey number conflicts typically occur when an player is moving up to the next age division and a 2nd year player in that division has the same number as the incoming player. In the event of a jersey number conflict, priority goes to the returning player for the team (eg: the 2nd or 3rd year player within the team’s age division). 

SIZING INSTRUCTIONS

2. Measure your jersey across the chest as the pictures indicate below. 
3. Match that measurement to the chart below to determine size.
4. Did your hockey player grow over the summer? Was their jersey getting too tight towards the end of last season? If so, maybe go up one size.
