WARM-UP JACKETS & EMBROIDERY

posted Jun 1, 2026, 11:02 PM

Ice Edge Skating Club has set up embroidery services with Angela Embroidery. This is a local business located in our very own community of Chestermere.

Website: www.sewsen.com

Email: sales@sewsen.com

Telephone: 403-399-6555

Address: 233 Kinniburgh Way, Chestermere, AB

Embroidered logo can be added to skater's warm-up jackets. Warm up jackets must be all black and be a comfortable material to skate and perform in. ProSkate in Calgary has a great selection, but jackets do not need to be purchased there.

Warm up Jacket standard embroidery includes front left Ice Edge logo, right sleeve Skate Canada logo and a large Ice Edge logo on the back.

A name bar on the left sleeve if you wish is at an additional cost.

In addition, Angela Embroidery has our logo in silk screen, with an approximate size of 8.5in width and 7.5in height that can be applied to hoodies, t-shirts or sweaters. Colour of the logo can be adjusted to show up on what ever colour of clothing. 

Angela Embroidery also has an online catalog with great prices from which you can choose items like hoodies to add the Ice Edge logo to.
