NDMH Jersey Policy 

 

1. Purpose


Napanee District Minor Hockey (NDMH) provides jerseys for players within the association each season. This policy outlines the expectations for distribution, care, and collection of the jerseys each season for the jerseys to have long lasting wear so that players can continue to wear the jerseys with pride each upcoming season.

 

2. Jersey Distribution and Name Bars

 

  • The executive will provide a set of home and away jerseys to each player. Please note specific jersey numbers cannot be requested for specific players. 

 

  • Name bars and sponsor bars can be added to jerseys by hand sewing with a loose stitch only. No machine sewing, glue, stick on, iron or any kind of adhesive is permitted as this affects the longevity of the jerseys. 

 

Please Note: Only name bars provided by Napanee District Minor Hockey (NDMH) are permitted to be sewn onto jerseys. These approved name bars must be purchased directly through your Spordle account.

 

 

3. Jersey Care

  • Players are responsible to wash and care for their assigned jerseys. Jersey cleaning should always be done in cold water as hot water affects the integrity of the jerseys. For drying please hang to dry.

 

  • With the exception of U8/U9,NDMH issued jerseys are not to be worn during practices, or at any other time, other than game situations. Exceptions for special events such as fundraisers, team events, minor hockey night, will be considered on a case by case basis and should be flagged to the Executive before use in these cases.

  • It is recommended that garment bags be used by each player. This helps prolong the integrity and longevity of the jerseys. Jerseys kept in hockey bags with worn hockey gear and skates are at risk for mould, mildew, discolouration and cuts.

 

4. Jersey Collection

  • Upon conclusion of the season, players are to carefully remove name bars, sponsor bars, launder the jerseys and provide the jerseys to the executive on the designated drop off date.

 

5. Missing / Non-returned / Damaged Jerseys

  • For any jersey(s) not returned at the end of a hockey season (on the designated date), the player will be charged $75 per jersey. This charge will be applied to the player’s HCR (Spordle) account no later than March 31st. In accordance with OHF/OMHA regulations, any player with outstanding fees on their HCR account will be blocked from all future registrations, including participation in evaluations.

 

  • All jerseys deemed unusable due to damage, holes, rips, tears, stains, alterations, mould, glue, adhesive remaining on the jerseys will be charged $75 per jersey regardless of the age of the jerseys. This charge will be applied to the player’s HCR (Spordle) account no later than March 31st. In accordance with OHF/OMHA regulations, any player with outstanding fees on their HCR account will be blocked from all future registrations, including participation in evaluations.

 

 

6. General Wear and Tear, Exceptional Damage

  • Tears, cuts, burns, glue adhesive, mould, rips etc. are NOT considered normal wear and tear.

 

  • Puck marks, pilling and small thread pulls are considered normal wear and tear, resulting from the game of hockey.
