Uniforms

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.

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). 

In the event of a "tie", priority will be given to the athlete with the most years with the Rapids club OR the athlete who had the number previously.  

Number options are limited from 1-98.  Zero and 99 are not options.
