IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Any rips, tears, or other damage to the jerseys must be fixed before they are returned at the end of the season or the jersey deposit will be cashed. Normal wear and tear will be acceptable and stains and puck marks must be cleaned or the jersey deposit will be cashed to cover the cost of cleaning.

Handle with care!

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.

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 next year. Keep the jersey in the shape that you would want to wear.

Captain/Assistant Captain Letters

C’s and A’s are allowed using hand-made “long-single stitch” – NOT machine stitched. Do NOT use any form of adhesive.

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.

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.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Please wash each jersey separately or with like colors.  Do NOT wash red and white jerseys together!

There is no guarantee of color fastness and you will be held responsible for any color changes

Machine WASHABLE in COLD water

*DO NOT USE BLEACH!

HANG to dry or Tumble Dry LOW HEAT

*DO NOT DRY CLEAN

COOL iron

Cleaning Tip: Pre-soak the jerseys separately (use hot water to dissolve the powder then add cold water so water is no more than lukewarm to cool before adding jersey). Scrubbing black/puck marks with a pre-treatment such as Resolve or Sunlight Bar Soap and a soft toothbrush works to remove these stubborn stains that will not come out with just regular machine washing.
