Sizing Chart
| GENERAL JERSEY SIZING GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
Measure the circumference of your chest roughly 1" below the armpit using a soft measuring tape, string, or shoelace. Correspond your chest measurement to a jersey size using the table below. Additionally, put on all of your upper body hockey gear and measure the locations A, B and C. If your chest measurement is close to or on one of the measurements listed on the sizing chart, we recommend choosing one size larger. A jersey too small can restrict your range of motion and be uncomfortable during gameplay. If you want a looser-fitting jersey, go one size up as well. |
