Southcoast Panthers Youth Hockey Association Jersey Number Assignment Policy Jersey numbers shall be assigned to each player following the establishment of the initial team rosters and prior to the necessary date (usually early August) to allow adequate time for members to order and receive jerseys prior to the start of the season. A player shall be eligible for a jersey number based on the following criteria: Each player shall be registered with the SCPYHA through the on-line registration process as confirmed by the Registrar. Each player shall be listed on a team roster based on the Spring evaluation process. Each player shall have paid the initial deposit to hold his or her roster spot as confirmed by Accounts Receivable Treasurer. All returning players who have had a jersey number during the prior season shall retain that number unless that player volunteers to place that number into the pool of available numbers and request a new number. The returning player then loses the right to that number and is subject to the process outlined below. If any current member of the SCPYHA decides to leave the association, that number is automatically forfeited and becomes available for player’s any existing or new member. All new players to SCPYHA travel teams and returning players who desire a number change shall during the evaluation process provide may request his or her preferred numbers. Jersey number assignment will be done for all travel teams at each playing level. For new players and returning players desiring a new number, an attempt will be made to assign one of the preferred number choices given during registration. However, in the event that the number choices were not available or no preference was indicated at registration, the next available number was assigned to the child based on playing level and date of birth, working from the oldest to youngest. When assigning numbers, it is necessary to ensure that no two players, who could play at the same level in either the current year or a future year, have the same jersey number. As such, the process starts at the oldest date-of-birth (DOB) year and reviews back one year to verify no duplicate numbers. Then, the next oldest DOB year is selected and the jersey numbers are compared for DOBs that are one year forward and one year
