Jersey Care
Proper care of the jerseys is your responsibility and you are responsible for replacement costs due to outgrowing the jersey, damage, loss, theft or misuse. Players needing a replacement jersey, for any of these reasons, can purchase their replacement(s) at registration. Contact the Equipment Director for any replacement purchase needed outside of the registration window. Players must retain their assigned jersey number. Game jerseys shall not be worn for practice.
To get the maximum life out of your jerseys follow these simple tips:
- Dry and Store Properly: Not only is it a bad idea to leave your jersey in your equipment bag, it's unsanitary. Remove your jersey (and all other equipment for that matter) from your bag as soon as you arrive home from playing to dry and to prevent, or at least limit, bacterial growth. Air dry your jersey by hanging it up. Once it's dry, fold it up or hang it in a garment bag (recommended).
- Washing: To wash, turn your jersey inside-out and wash it in cold water with mild detergent and air dry.
Fitting & Sizing: Jersey And Socks
- We encourage you to utilize a sibling’s or a friend's jersey/game sock as a reference. This should be done using a LAHA or Co-Op jersey/game sock from a past season. We do encourage you to try to locate a K1 branded jersey/game sock. While sizing is similar, there might be slight differences between brands.
- If you don’t have access to a sibling’s or friend's jersey/game sock for reference, refer to the size charts below. Remember to have your player wear their chest pad and elbow pads when measuring for the jersey; and their shin guards when measuring for game socks.
Jersey Sizing Charts - Standard (Skater) and Goalie
Game Sock Sizing
You can determine the size you need by measuring the length of your leg. Use a fabric measuring tape or tape measure to measure the distance between your ankle bone and the middle of your thigh. If you find that your measurement places you in-between sizes, it is recommended that you choose the larger size. Remember to account for the size of your player's shin guards when choosing your game sock size.
