Carleton Place Girls Hockey Association Equipment Policy

Jersey Policy

Each player must supply a $150 deposit cheque to CPGHA postdated to May 1, 20xx, of the end of the season.  All cheques will be provided to the Treasurer.  Any jersey deposits that are not received and the jerseys are returned in an unrepairable condition will have the amount charged to the players account in RAMP.  No releases, PTS’ or registration will be approved until the amount is paid as the player will be considered not in good standing. 

Jerseys are the responsibility of the Head Coach and Manager of each team. The Manager keeps a record of each players number and contact information to be provide to the equipment director once all jerseys are handed out.

Jersey Distribution

• No jersey can be handed out to a player without a garment bag. Jerseys must be on a hanger and in a garment bag when not worn.
• Jersey’s provided to Affiliates are to be kept by the Coach/Manager and not provided to the player to ensure that the jerseys are kept in the set. Coaches will be assigned remaining jerseys and be responsible for the return of the jersey or will be charged the fee for any missing jerseys. Jersey Care.
• Jerseys are not to be left in garment bags; damp or sweaty shirts are susceptible to staining and mold, which make them unusable and undesirable to wear.
• Launder jerseys inside-out as required and hung to dry. Should be done once a week.
• Jerseys are for games only - to keep the life of the jerseys longer, CPGHA asks all teams to use their own practice jerseys for practices and to save CPGHA Jerseys for Home and Away games.
• Name Bars can be purchased through the approved vendor
• Colours name bars are: Blue with yellow lettering, and white with blue lettering.
• Dark name bars on dark jerseys, white name bars on white jerseys.
• Name bars are to be stitched on by the approved CPGHA tailor.
• No adhesive is to be used on any jersey.
• Removal of name bars are to be done by the approved CPGHA tailor. Damage to jerseys upon return will be charged to the player for replacement cost.
• Player name bar must match the name on the roster.
• Name bars are to be attached at the top of the jersey

Jersey Collection

At the end of the season, jerseys must be washed and returned to the team’s Head Coach and/or Manager on hangers.

The Manager/Head Coach are to return both sets of jerseys sorted as above to the Equipment Director no later than April 30th of the current season.

Collection dates will be posted on the website. The Director of Equipment WILL NOT accept partial returns of jerseys, the Manager/ Head Coach will be turned away at collection without a complete set of Home/Away jerseys.  Failure to return all the jerseys in their care will result in both Player and Coach/Manager being not in good standing with CPGHA and will impact the following years registration.  Jerseys that are not returned will be charged $75 per jersey and will be required to be paid prior to registration for the following year.

** No CPGHA Jersey will be permitted to be used outside of CPGHA for any reason i.e. they are not to be used for Spring Leagues or other activities that are not CPGHA sanctioned. *

Trainer Bags

As discussed at the July executive meeting and approved by the executive, trainer bags will now be the responsibility of the team.  The reasoning for this is that we have not had any bags returned for the last three years. 

With keeping the registration costs low we are putting this responsibility on the teams.
