CLOCHE
HOCKEY.

The polo is named for the Frank J. Selke Trophy — awarded annually by the NHL to the forward who demonstrates the most skill in the defensive component of the game. The trophy honors Frank J. Selke (1893-1985), longtime Toronto Maple Leafs general manager and Hockey Hall of Fame builder. Notable Selke winners include Patrice Bergeron (NHL record 6 Selkes), Jere Lehtinen, Pavel Datsyuk, Ryan Kesler. The Selke Polo positions the wearer as someone who values two-way play + complete-game hockey, not just offense.

The six teams that comprised the NHL from 1942 through the 1967 expansion: Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs. The Original Six era is the modern league's foundational period — most franchise records, rivalry traditions, and team aesthetics originate from this era. The Original Six Jogger references the league's heritage roots.

Both. The Vantage Performance Long Sleeve and Short Sleeve are designed primarily for athletic training contexts — on-ice warm-up + cool-down, off-ice strength training, dryland conditioning — but the moisture-wicking polyester construction works as a lifestyle base layer in everyday wear. Most wearers use the Vantage line as their primary athletic top + a frequent everyday rotation.

Yes — the brand is sized for athletic build with broader shoulders, tapered torso, and room to layer for cold-rink conditions. If you're between sizes, size up for layering room (preferred for hockey-context wear) or size down for closer-to-body fit (preferred for warm-weather lifestyle wear). The brand's sizing chart is on each product page.

Hockey culture in the U.S. + Canada has a strong wearer base — players, parents, fans, coaches — who want the culture present in their everyday wardrobe but don't always want pro-team merch. Cloche Hockey fills that gap: the cultural reference is in the naming + design language, not in licensed team logos. The wearer signals hockey-affinity to other hockey people without wearing branded team gear.

Yes. The brand's naming references are recognizable to hockey wearers but the apparel itself reads as athletic-lifestyle to non-hockey contexts. The Selke Polo reads as a clean polo. The Original Six Jogger reads as a solid jogger. The cultural reference is for those who recognize it; the apparel works as everyday wear regardless.

Three rules for performance polyester: (1) machine-wash cold + gentle cycle, (2) don't use fabric softener — it coats the moisture-wicking fibers and reduces the wicking function, (3) hang-dry or tumble-dry on low — high heat can shrink polyester + damage seam-tape if any. Wash separately from cotton garments to avoid lint pickup.
