My perspective as Head Coach of a Division III Hockey Team regarding last names on jerseys. One, I have never once worried about having the last name of a player appear on his(her) away jersey because they may be harassed and heckled by the opposing crowd. That, to me is ridiculous. Being heckled is part of being a public figure, especially in sports. So, the opposing fans heckle my team. They know its going to happen. To answer the question, that is not a consideration for putting names on jerseys. Second, cost is not a problem. If you do reserach you will find someone out there willing to number and name your jerseys at minimal costs. I had all my jerseys named and numbered. All this from a first year team that started with $300 - that's right $300. So, to all those teams out there with tens of thousands of dollars in funds, I see no reason why you can't name and number...unless of course, you just don't want to. But, again, to answr the question, no cost was not a concern. tcrum
