Player Uniform and Jersey Policy

Team Uniform Rules

JV and Varsity players must purchase an East Aurora Blue Devils reversible jersey. Jerseys are provided to the Modified team.
When a player commits to a jersey number, this number becomes the sole property of a specific player. Whereas, EA Hockey will remain sensitive to players becoming attached to numbers, if a conflict arises the Jersey Number Assignment Rules will engage.

Jersey Number Assignment Rules

First Purchased Rule: For East Aurora Blue Devils Hockey, jersey number seniority begins when you purchase your first jersey. This seniority is kept as long as you play within the organization.

Age Seniority Rule: If a conflict continues to arise, the Age Seniority Rule applies if the First Purchased Rule does not resolve the conflict. The Age Seniority Rule simply states that the older player will always have the first choice to keep his/her number (with exceptions noted).
Exception on Age Seniority: Former players that have left EA Hockey for 1 or more years or new players to EA Hockey have lost their number First Purchased Rule seniority. Players losing this seniority reset to 0 (zero) years seniority.

Other Team Assignment Rule: The organization will entertain requests for numbers, as long as no conflict is in place for any player on the current JV or Varsity rosters.

Final Determination Rule: If the above rules cannot resolve a jersey number conflict, the Association Registrar will have the final determination on number assignment.
