Referees Apparel
Tri3 Hardgear is proud to partner with the Hockey Super League Referees Academy and provide apparel for the on-ice officials. We understand that referees face some significant, unique challenges on the ice. We hope the apparel we are providing is something a little out of the box and we hope that you like it. As this partnership continues to develop, we will see some very exciting things coming! We are ALWAYS open to suggestions for new and innovative products.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
We have a couple of different types of offerings that we really hope will compliment every referee and the hard work you all do!
The first, SUBLIMATED, is all custom-made apparel produced in our European facility. Sublimation is one of the most modern printing technologies which enables us to embed almost any graphic into a lot of different materials. The thermo-chemical process that ensures the desired image is permanently “dyed” deeply into the material. Once the colour is in the material, it is PERMANENT and is extremely resistant to abrasion, sweat, washing and sunlight.
This gives us SIGNIFICANTLY better control, more options, and the ability to create some pretty cool designs with logos, sponsors (if there is one), names, numbers, etc.; there really is no limit to the choices available. It also lets us order an extra one here and there without any additional unreasonable time or cost.
The second, EMBROIDERY, is generally going to be for the hats and toques and bags and stuff like that. We have a few of these products.
The catalogue will continue to evolve. We are always introducing new products and will be happy to design a few things just for the referees that compliment what we are already offering.
We’re sure that everyone is able to appreciate that we cannot provide an unlimited catalogue that makes every single item available. Having said that, if there is a special request or a call for a specific item, we will do our best to accommodate. If you’re looking for a specific item that is of interest to several of your collegues, please reach out to us and we’ll see what we can do!
SIZING INFORMATION
We are going to do our very best to appropriately size everyone to ensure they are getting the correct sizes and are happy. However, the only way to accurately size someone is to try on the sizers, which we have in Calgary. Alternatively, there are a myriad of tracksuits and polos out there, so please try to ask someone if you could check your size with theirs. We apologize, but we are not in a position to guarantee sizing. Therefore, if you select the wrong size, we’ll help out as much as we can, but we are unable to replace any items at our cost.
ORDERING INFORMATION
The best (and truthfully easiest) way to get your order placed is to reach out to us directly. That way, we can get your order in as fast as possible. Contact Dennis at +1-403-819-9000 or email [email protected] to get the order processed. The “REFEREES ACADEMY” is very unique and logistically challenging and we would normally be able to size everyone up and get these orders in. However, with the size of our area, we just can’t. As such, there will be a lot of individual orders, so please be patient as we work through this. We will assist you in making sure we have the right size, colours, cut, etc.
With SUBLIMATED apparel, orders will be placed at least once a week and the “store”, as it were, will remain open throughout the season, summer, fall, etc. You can order whenever you want! With EMBROIDERY, there are not necessarily minimums, but the lower the quantity, the higher the cost of production. Therefore, we will be putting orders in as we receive them to accommodate this.
All orders must be paid in full upon request. With added credit processing fees, credit cards will be accepted, so e-Transfer remains the best method of getting this done.

Track Suit
We offer a 100% fully sublimated unisex track suit providing the perfect colour alignment with team jerseys and other apparel. The pants and jackets are suitable to wear to and from the game, for warm-up activities, and for coaches. The jackets offer a quality full-length zip, two zip pockets, cuffs on sleeves, wide elastic at the bottom for a comfortable fit, high wing collar and double-stitched seams. The pants are anatomically adapted to fit with two pockets featuring a wide elastic waistband with drawstring for tightening to ensure a comfortable fit. The bottoms of the legs have elastic to prevent the material becoming damaged from rubbing on the ground or a straight-leg design (without the elastic) for a less casual look. It’s the small details that make people smile and the inside of the pockets and the hood have the lumberjack tartan! Each player can have the option of individually customizing their hoodie by having their name and number as part of the design. The jackets and pants may be ordered separately. The jackets are $70.00 and the pants are $60.00.

A Little About us and the Relationship with the HSL
The relationship between HOCKEY SUPER LEAGUE REFEREES ACADEMY and TRI³ HARDGEAR is a very unique one. We are not only the supplier to you, but we (rather, I) am one of you! Working together will leave not only all of us, as officials, but also the HSL leadership, in very STONG, CAPABLE hands! We are more than prepared to have a SOLID position as a working partner with the officials and support the initiatives and endeavours of the officials going forward long into the foreseeable future.
We have been supplying sublimated jerseys, shorts, hoodies, and a myriad of other items for a decade in the Calgary area, throughout North America, into much of Europe, and parts of the southern hemisphere into Australia. We having a lengthy history of fostering friendships for over 20 years not only in the Calgary and Alberta sports communities, but nationally, internationally, and in the professional ranks. These relationships extend into lacrosse, hockey, baseball, ringette, corporate, and other groups. We have also partnered with numerous Indigenous groups throughout North America and are VERY WELL positioned to understand not only the apparel, but the best possible way to allow athletes to be portrayed in the best possible, most respectful manner.
We are not in the ideal position to tell you what you should be buying or what people in your club should be wearing. Our position is that ONLY YOU…as the customer…the end-user…the people who will be taking full advantage of our product…are in the best position to determine what you want and need. We aren’t the type of manufacturer to tell you what’s best for you…only YOU can make that decision! Our desire is to actively work with you to provide you with a product line that your players will be extremely proud to wear on AND off the floor and field!
