ELY BLUE LINE CLUB

Equipment Policy  

Blue Line will provide breezers, shoulder pads, shin pads, and gloves to players at Popsicles and Ice Mites levels.

Goalie pads, chest protector, catcher, and blocker are provided at all levels. In the younger groups the coach may be responsible for the equipment if there is not a specific player designated as goalie.  

 Blue Line will provide goalie sticks for Popsicles, Mites, and Squirts. If a goalie does not care to use the stick provided by Blue Line they may use one of their choice, at their own expense. Sticks are not provided at the Pee Wee and Bantam levels.  

 Jerseys will be distributed by the coaches before the first game. Jerseys are to be worn for games only. They are not to be worn to school except for special occasions approved by the coach, (e.g. “Red and White Day”). They are not to be worn for practice or open skating or outdoor rinks. 

Take proper care of the equipment. Keep it clean and dry, and don't put skates with unprotected blades in a gear bag with other equipment.

 Repair damaged equipment promptly or make arrangements with a member of the Equipment Committee to have the item replaced or repaired.

 Return equipment on the date designated by the Club. Equipment must be clean, dry, and have all pads in place. If all equipment, including jerseys, is not returned at this time, the returnable deposit will not be refunded. If you have a conflict with the scheduled date, the equipment committee must be notified.   

There will be a fine for lost or badly damaged equipment. The charge for equipment that was new  when borrowed is the full price paid by Blue Line. The charge for used equipment is ½ the original price. If jerseys have not been washed a $10 fee will be assessed.  

 Blue Line equipment can be used for summer camps. Notify the equipment chairperson as soon as you know you will need equipment. You will be called when a date is set up to meet with those needing summer equipment. Do not wait until a week before camp or you may not get equipment. If you plan on keeping the equipment you have been using during the season for camp, notify the committee by the return date. Jerseys must still be returned on time.   

For all equipment provided by the Ely Blue Line Club contact Betsy Leustek for replacement and damaged equipment at 365-4903 or email at leustek@frontiernet.net   Remember that all club equipment must be turned in at the end of season to receive your equipment deposit back.
