SPHC Required Team Uniform
Last season, we were transitioning to our new brand. This season for 2022/2023, we are adopting a more uniform standard for our players 10u and above.
- For 2022/2023, every Rebellion player will need to follow the team uniform which is Rebellion jersey, 2 pairs of game socks, shell. Players will also need to wear a red helmet and black/red gloves. The game jerseys, game socks, and shells are ordered through House O' Hockey.

- For 8U Mites players, you do not need a shell and red helmet is preferred but optional. 8u Mite players only need to order the reversible jersey and game socks.
