Adult Hockey League Tournament Travel Apparel

Adult hockey tournament travel weekends are a different animal from weekly league play. The crew is on the road for 3-4 days, every meal is at a hotel restaurant, every photo gets posted, and the crew matching apparel matters more than it does any weekly Tuesday game. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles tournament travel apparel at no minimum so a 12-player crew can outfit the whole roster for the trip with US printing and ship-to-home delivery before the team leaves.

What Tournament Travel Apparel Covers

• Travel polos: airport and hotel wear; coordinated team color
• Bench hoodies: bench-side and dressing-room layer
• Tournament-specific tee or hoodie: year-of-tournament commemorative piece
• Embroidered crew hats: signature group identifier
• Bar-night specials: tongue-in-cheek piece for the post-tournament celebration

Coordinated Layout For The Travel Crew

• Single team color across all pieces: pick one and stick to it
• Tournament name on the back yoke: large print, with year
• Captain and goalie call-outs on travel polos: subtle marks for team leadership

3. 2 weeks before trip: late-order reminder; emphasize ship buffer
4. Trip departure: apparel arrives at each player's home before they leave
