Spokane is getting a alt jersey this year but no one has said anything about it. The only reason we know it is coming is because it was promised to season ticket holders as an incentive to renew last season.

Belleville has not said anything but i bet it is the yellow alternate that they have had for years.

I'm suspecting it will return as well. Belleville has used it on and off for almost two decades, it will be around in some form or another for sure.

There are several teams that I suspect will be bringing out alternates this year, but haven't said anything, particularly teams that had succesful ones in the past, like The Cataraces, Knights (I really want the green jerseys back), Otters, Thunderbirds, and Rockets. We'll just have to wait and see I guess

May not mean much but this is from last night's live blog by the Winterhawks color guy, Tood Vrooman:

New PEI Rocket third jersey unveiled last night. Similar look to their previous alt - with the P.E.I. script, and no logo except on the shoulders (and numbers on the front?).

These are from local newspapers. The official sites will probably have better photos in due time:

Thanks for the pics, I looked them up on Saturday,I'm intrigued by the four layer lettering on the front. I just wish the team had posted better pictures, it's impossible to tell what templte that is, or pull a good image of the lettering on the front.

I wouldn't be surprised in the Winterhawks came out with a black alternate, it would be easy to do for them with minimal chance of alienating the crowd.

I would LOVE it if Lewiston brought back the grey face alternates. As ugly as they were, they were one of the most unique looks in hockey. It's hard to believe they had their bags packed to move two years ago

The Winterhawks could go a few ways with their alternate. They could just use a black version of the red and white jerseys they already have. They could bring back the skyline jersey they had before the Edge jerseys came in (this clearly seems possible as Everett kept their evergreen trees around most of their hem.) What I hope they don't do is copy Chicago and use their third as a template for a WHL version.

Kingston tweeted this a bit ago:

Fronts will unveil their new Third Jersey on Wednesday afternoon at 2:00PM at the K-Rock Centre

This is on the Swift Current website:

Wednesday September 22nd at Living Sky Casino (2pm-6pm) Bronco players will be on hand at 5pm. Anybody that purchases a season ticket that day will be entered to win a Broncos 3rd jersey.

Red Deer just tweeted this:

New third jersey is being unveiled on Wednesday.

ETA: This is posted on the blog of the broadcaster of the Kamloops Blazers:

The Kamloops Blazers will be wearing a new look third jersey Saturday night when they host the Chilliwack Bruins.

The Blazers will wear the third jersey for all Saturday home games.

Kingston Frontenacs 3rd will be a retro design, confirmed in a press release on their website.

Admittedly, I'm more of a recent Fronts fan but, unless they bring back the captain, they will look like the 80's Bruins in Edge jerseys. Should look pretty sweet.

Yes, I am quoting myself. This is a follow-up to the above.

Awesome. I'll be looking for those, and supposedly, the Fronts will be unvieling theirs today as well.

The OHL has said they will NOT be running the All-Star Classic this season. They cited the Top Prospects Game and Super Series against Russia as being too busy for the young players, and having too many opportunities for injury outside of their member team's season. Also, the 3 events mostly use the same players for each event, so those top players burn-out pretty quickly. As it stands, Kingston's All-Star game will be the last for a long time. I was wondering why I hadn't found the logo for it yet, and now I have my answer.
