Dispute Over Team Merchandise
The owner of a New Jersey youth hockey club has raised concerns after parents produced their own apparel featuring team branding. The jackets display Hitmen across the front and Hitmama Hockey across the back. Club contracts prohibit any use of trademarks without approval, and the owner noted that similar attempts by families have occurred before.
Facility Ownership and Merchandise Rules
The club operates more than 20 youth teams at its arena. All team-related items are produced in-house through the facility store at a discounted rate. The owner described the recent jackets as a violation of policy and offered a 15 percent royalty option to families that come forward with proof of purchase for review.
No Suspensions Issued
The owner indicated that involved families could resume activities after discussion and payment. No players have been suspended in connection with the matter. The situation marks the third such case in three years involving unauthorized apparel created by parents.
