Jersey Policy & Sponsorship
CMHA Jersey Policy – Game Jerseys
To ensure consistency and respect sponsor agreements:
- All
team jerseys must match.
- Only Nissan
and Toyota logos permitted.
- No
other logos, names, or patches allowed.
- Player
last names can be added at the team/player’s cost.
- All
jerseys (including tournament) must be approved by CMHA before ordering.
👕 Practice Jerseys:
Fully customizable – no restrictions.
❗ Jerseys not meeting CMHA
standards may need to be replaced at the team’s expense.
Jersey Sponsorship Transition – Important Update
As we near the end of the 2025–26 season, we extend our
gratitude to Nissan and Toyota for their long-time support.
This will be their final season as CMHA’s primary
jersey sponsors.
Starting 2026–27:
Players will purchase and own their jerseys. Until
then, CMHA will maintain current team jerseys, with bench staff handling
distribution and care.
Benefits of Ownership:
- Personalized
fit and design
- Greater
pride and team connection
- Access
to better materials and customization
- Long-term
cost savings
- Use
jerseys year-to-year—no sizing delays
