Are jerseys & socks included in registration?

How do I know what size to order for my player?

-A self serve gear fitting area will be available in the hockey office from March 1st through March 22nd. Players should bring their equipment to get sizes for socks and game jerseys. Shells are optional but will be available to try on as well.

How much does the gear package cost?

-$90 plus taxes & shipping ($64 for a jersey, $26 for socks). Shells are optional at $38.

How will I receive my equipment package?

-Orders through PureHockey will ship directly to your door.

Can I return items if they do not fit?

-No, items through PureHockey are custom ordered and cannot be returned. Players should go through the gear fitting to avoid sizing errors.

Can my player use their jersey from last season?

If your player's jersey from last season fits, they can reuse that jersey. We will do our best to limit duplicate jersey numbers but cannot guarantee that every single player in each practice group will have a unique number. We will bring extra jerseys to each event just in case.

Will my player be able to use their favorite jersey number?

We cannot guarantee that every player will get their top jersey number choice. The quick turnaround time from when players register to when jerseys are ordered is too short to accommodate all requests. We will do our best, but jersey numbers may be randomly assigned.
