Jersey Replacement Policy

2024 - 2025

Trails West will no longer collect jersey deposit cheques at the beginning of the season for U7-U18 players. Instead, during registration, the registrant will be required to acknowledge the following:

“I understand my registered child(ren) will receive one, or two (depending upon age division registered in), Trails West Hockey Association game jersey(s) for use during the 2024-2025 hockey season. I will ensure the game jersey(s) is kept in acceptable, wearable condition throughout the season.  I accept it is my responsibility to clean the game jersey(s), removing any stains and puck marks and repair any rips, tears or other damage to the jersey(s) before it is returned to TWHA at the end of the 2024-2025 hockey season. 

Should the TWHA Equipment Manager determine my registered child(ren)’s game jersey(s) is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, or is returned not cleaned, I acknowledge I will receive an invoice from TWHA for the cost of jersey replacement ($125) or cleaning/mending ($30), as applicable.  I further agree that I will make payment of said invoice no later than May 15, 2024. I understand non-payment will be considered a violation of my membership with TWHA and full payment will be required to be in good standing and before my child(ren) is permitted to register for any future Trails West Hockey Association or Hockey Canada governed program.”

Jersey Care

HANDLE WITH CARE

2024 - Printable Jersey Care Instructions

Jerseys should NOT be placed in hockey bags as Velcro and skates will damage them.  Preferably, players will use garment bags to keep jerseys clean and un-damaged during transportation to and from the arena. After a jersey has been worn, dry completely before storing in the garment bag.

Any rips, tears, or other damage to the jerseys must be fixed BEFORE they are returned at the end of the season, or they will be charged as per above.

Game jerseys are NOT permitted for use during practices.

Respect the jersey and take care of it throughout the season. Remember that another player will be wearing the same jersey next season, and you will be wearing someone else’s.  Keep the jersey in the same condition that you would want to wear.

C’s and A’s are allowed using “single stitch” only. NO ADHESIVES. When removing them at the end of the season, be very careful not to tear or stretch the jerseys.  All C’s and A’s MUST be removed before jerseys are returned.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Please wash each jersey separately or with like colors.  Do NOT wash the white jerseys with ANY colored clothing as they will likely turn out to be grey, blue, or pink!

Wash INSIDE-OUT

COLD water

DO NOT USE BLEACH

HANG to dry

 

Do not give hangers out to the players.  Leave them in the garment bag for jersey return. Thank you.

Affiliated Player Use of Team Game Jersey

Team Managers are responsible for handing out and managing use of all Trails West game jerseys, including those worn by affiliated players.  Trails West recommends in a situation where an affiliated player will be using a team’s game jersey, the Team Manager provides the affiliated player with the applicable game jersey before the game, and ensures the game jersey is returned to the Team Manager at the end of the game.  The Team Manager is responsible for cleaning said game jersey and returning it to the team player who was “replaced” (or if an extra team game jersey was used by the affiliated player, keeping the game jersey for use again, if needed, during the season). At no point should an affiliated player be allowed to take home an affiliated team’s game jersey. If a Trails West game jersey used by an affiliated player is not returned or it was damaged when worn by an affiliated player, it is the responsibility of the team to be prepared to cover the cost of the replacement of the missing game jersey and/or to repair the damaged game jersey prior to the Trails West game jersey return date at the end of the season as determined by the Trails West Equipment Manager.  Trails West will not cover the cost to repair or replace any Trails West game jersey including those worn by an affiliated player. Team Managers must return all team Trails West game jerseys TOGETHER that they received at the beginning of the season to the Trails West Equipment Manager at the game jersey return date at the end of the season. No exceptions will be made.
