Hockey Gloves, Pant shells and bags are ordered 1 year in advance and ship straight from the manufacturer in many cases China. There might be delays which are out of the control of Warrior, the Thompson Blazers and BC hockey.
Workout shorts and shirts will be sized and then ordered shortly after the carding deadline or once the entire team has been selected. They will then be produced and shipped by warrior asap.
Helmet sizing starts after the carding deadline. This year, the sizing will be done by Players Bench and the helmets will be ordered as soon as the entire team has been sized. There might be delays to stock levels but items will ship asap after the carding deadline.
Apparel sizing will start once the entire team has been selected and payment has been received.
