JERSEY FITTING INFORMATION for 24-25 Season
Welcome back to hockey everyone!!! There is a lot of information in this letter as well as a few changes to our procedures so please read all of it.
My name is Michael Fedke, I am the equipment director and will be the one responsible for number assignments and security with regards to your child’s jersey.
If your child is a 2017 birth year or older, and will be playing for a team this season, you are required to purchase team jerseys and socks. If you already own a set, it is not necessary to purchase again unless your child has outgrown them. We will continue to issue jersey numbers in the following manner: odd birth year = odd number - Even birth year = even number. For example, a player born in 2010 cannot get the number 13.
6U does not need a jersey number or fitting
If you are purchasing your first set of jerseys you must attend a fitting. You must bring your player,
their shoulder and shin pads. Do not attempt a fitting after ice time – no sweaty try-ons!
If this is your first season with the Sharks, you will be picking your child’s jersey number at the fitting (this number will stay with them unless you request to change it) and we highly suggest coming to one of the first dates if you have a specific number in mind because it is first come first serve and we will not be taking email requests. If you need a number for the first time, or are switching your jersey number, you must attend a fitting. We will not take email requests.
Existing team players- If you need jerseys due to growth, you need to attend a fitting as well unless you are sure what size your child needs. If you order your jersey by email, you are taking responsibility for any inaccurate sizing issues and will be financially responsible for changes needing to be made. You can contact me by going to the Meramec Sharks home page, scroll down to the bottom right-hand corner and click on the Contact Us “Here” link, then proceed to Click on the “Equipment Director” link. We suggest waiting until fitting 2 or 3 or be prepared to wait as the new players choose their numbers on the first fitting and the line can get long
Email fitting need to have the following information
Players name, Birth year, Hockey number, Size of jersey and sock
Goalies – All goalies that need jerseys will go through the same process as other players for your fittings by showing up on the dates scheduled below. Please bring your upper padding for accurate sizing.
Jersey fitting location/date/procedure – Jersey Fittings will be held at the Tank on TBD. We will be taking orders in the main lobby, please form a line and we will get/verify your child’s number and fit you for a jersey and socks.
We highly suggest that you attend the July fittings if you want your jersey by your first season game. The longer you wait the longer they take to come in.
Payment procedure- This year the Sharks will be handling the jersey purchases and distribution. We have gone back to K1 as our jersey supplier for both our regular game jerseys and goalie cuts as well as our socks.
YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR JERSEYS AND SOCKS AT THE TIME OF THE FITTING. ACCEPTED PAYMENTS ARE CASH, CHECK, OR VENMO.
Total cost will be $325 for home/away jerseys and socks. This price also includes the nameplate and number stitching as well. When your purchase arrives, you will be notified via email about the procedures for pick up.
