What follows is a confirmation of the long-standing NMHA Competitive Program policy on Raiders Equipment. The NMHA believes that all Raider teams, while participating in game play, should present a consistent look. This look is anchored by the Nepean Raiders Sweaters. In support of this, Players are required to wear black helmets and pants. Hockey gloves must be consistent with the Raiders colour scheme (Red, Black, Grey, White).
This policy in no way supersedes the requirements of Hockey Canada with respect to required equipment.
In order to have a consistent look, each team's name tags must have the same presentation style for the entire team. Therefore, to ensure this consistency, new name tags can be obtained each year through the NMHA office. Player name tags will be placed above the numbers (i.e. across the shoulders) while sponsorship tags will appear under the numbers. Name tags will be white background with black lettering on white sweaters, and black background with white lettering on black sweaters.
Jerseys are not to be tucked into hockey pants. Sponsor tags on the jersey must be visible.
It is also expected that teams and players will take necessary care of the game sweaters so that they are presentable at games. Garment bags or other similar protection must be used to minimize the wear to the sweaters. The sweaters must also be reasonably clean and in proper repair. Game sweaters are to be worn only for games and not for practice.
Failure to comply will result in the player being warned and reminded of this policy. Continued violation will result in suspension.
