Youth Hockey Jersey Options

Every option below is available in youth sizes and in the same team design, so a club can mix them in one order. Each card opens the product page for full details.

Designed Around Youth Hockey Equipment

A hockey jersey goes on over shoulder pads, elbow pads and a chest protector. That is why it cannot be picked from a regular children's clothing size.

  • 1ChestMeasured over the shoulder pads and chest protector, not over a T-shirt.
  • 2ShoulderPad caps push the seam outward; the pattern is drafted wider here.
  • 3SleeveLong enough to cover the elbow pad and meet the glove cuff.
  • 4Body LengthCovers the pants waist when the player bends into a skating stance.
  • 5HemWide enough to clear the pants and not ride up on the shell.
  • 6Goalie Equipment SpaceExtra room across chest and arms for goalie pads on the goalie cut.

Youth Sizing Without Guesswork

Good sizing comes from a few numbers the team already has. Send these with the roster and the sizes are confirmed before anything is cut.

What the team should provide

  • Existing jersey measurements
  • Chest width, body length and sleeve length
  • Player or goalie cut for each row
  • Size currently worn over equipment

How to confirm a size

Lay an existing, well-fitting jersey flat and measure it. That gives a truer number than measuring a moving player.

If a sample jersey is available, try it on over full equipment. Skate a few strides. If the sleeve pulls at the glove or the hem rides up, go one size up.

Avoid oversizing "to grow into" the jersey. Balance comfortable movement against reasonable growth room. Growth allowance is the team's call, decided per player, not a fixed rule.

Open the Youth Size Chart

Size chart values follow the factory's current pattern measurements and are confirmed on each order.

One Roster Across Ages, Sizes and Goalie Cuts

One spreadsheet carries the whole team: every size, both cuts, every name and number. The columns below are the roster template. Ask for it in your inquiry and the file is sent with the reply.

Roles marked (C) and (A) receive captain and alternate letters. The spare row is a blank jersey held for a new player.

Four checks before the roster is locked

  1. Sizes across the rosterDifferent youth sizes sit side by side in one order. Each row is cut to its own size, so nothing is rounded to a team average.
  2. Player versus goalie cutEvery row is tagged Player or Goalie. The goalie cut is roomier through the chest and arms and is never swapped for a large player size.
  3. Names and numbersSpelling is confirmed against the roster, duplicate numbers are flagged, and number fonts match across all sizes.
  4. Letters, spares and labelsCaptain and alternate letters are marked, a spare blank jersey is noted, and each jersey is bagged with its own player label.
Personalization

Easy Team Identity and Personalization

Everything that makes the jersey the team's own is placed from one approved artwork file, front and back.

Built for Training, Games and Frequent Washing

Youth jerseys are washed more often than any adult team's. Each type below is matched to how it will be used, with full fabric details on the fabric guide.

Game

Worn on game days only, so the colors and numbers stay sharp all season.

Practice

Worn several times a week and washed after every session.

Reversible practice jerseys in two colors during a scrimmage

Reversible

Flipped between drills to split sides, so both faces take the same wear.

Goalie

Cut for pad clearance and stretched by every save, so the seams take the load.

Repeat Orders

Plan for New Players and Growth

Rosters change every season. The design should not have to. Once artwork is approved, a reorder is a size and number update, not a new project.

  • The confirmed team design is saved for future reuse.
  • Each new season, update names, numbers and sizes on the roster and the same design runs again.
  • When a new player joins mid-season, a matching jersey is made from the original design.
  • Before any add-on order, re-confirm the player's current size. Youth sizes change within a season.
  • Keep a small number of spare jerseys without names for late arrivals.
  • Add-on orders follow the minimum order policy in place at that time.
  • Some color variation between production batches is possible and is not guaranteed away.

One Point of Contact

Make Ordering Easier for Coaches and Team Managers

The hardest part of a youth order is collecting information from many families. One roster and one contact keeps it clean.

Coach compiling a team roster on a laptop at the rink
  • Collect every player's details on one roster template.
  • Name one team contact who owns the order.
  • Confirm name spellings, numbers and sizes in one pass, not one email at a time.
  • Production starts only after the roster is locked.
  • Parents should not send separate versions to the factory; the team contact sends one file.
  • Changes after production starts may add cost or delay.

Youth Team Jersey FAQ

The questions club managers and coaches ask most before a first order.

How should youth hockey jerseys be sized over equipment?

Measure with the equipment on, or measure a jersey that already fits well over it. Lay that jersey flat, record chest width, body length and sleeve length, and send those numbers with the roster. A sample jersey tried on over full gear is the surest check.

Can different youth sizes be mixed in one order?

Yes. One team order can hold every youth size on the roster. Each jersey is cut to the size listed for that player, so a roster with small, medium and large players is a normal order, not a special one.

Can player and goalie jerseys be ordered together?

Yes. Goalie jerseys use a roomier goalie cut and are made in the same design and colors as the player jerseys. Mark the goalie rows on the roster and both cuts run in the same order.

Can every player have a different name and number?

Yes. Names and numbers come straight from the roster you confirm. Each row becomes one jersey with its own name and number, and duplicate numbers are flagged before artwork approval.

Are reversible practice jerseys available?

Yes. A reversible practice jersey gives two team colors in one garment, which is useful for splitting a squad into sides at practice without carrying two sets.

Can matching hockey socks be included?

Yes. Hockey socks in the team colors can be added to the same order so the socks and jerseys match, with youth sock sizes listed on the roster alongside jersey sizes.

What happens when a new player joins?

The approved team design stays on file. Send the new player's name, number, cut and size and a matching jersey is produced from that design. Add-on orders follow the minimum order policy in place at the time.

Can the approved design be reused next season?

Yes. Once artwork is approved it is kept for future orders. Next season you update names, numbers and sizes and the same design runs again. Some color variation between production batches is possible.

Should teams order larger jerseys for growth?

Not by default. A jersey ordered too large hangs over the gloves and hem and moves badly on the ice. Balance comfortable movement over equipment against reasonable growth room, and decide the allowance per player rather than by a fixed rule.

Can jerseys be packed and labeled by player?

Yes. Each jersey can be individually bagged and labeled with the player's name, number and size so a team manager can hand them out without sorting.

Ready to Outfit the Whole Roster?

Send the roster and artwork, or start with a few questions. Either way, the reply comes from the people who will make the jerseys.
