How do NHL teams have the jerseys with the prospect's name ready at the draft?

[Kranix]

Bobby pins, Name-bars and a big bag of velcro letters

Sweaters.

 

[Ibanezrokr]

Tape Delay.

I need to get the jersey label maker for my pedalboard then.

They keep sewing machines at the draft tables. Every team hires a designated name stitcher, usually an elderly woman.

im sure old news but all the premade championship gear for the team that didn't win ends up in 3rd world countries.

What if a team makes a surprise pick and it's right on the spot. How do they get the jersey for the player so quickly? Something I thought about.

They have an idea of who will be around when they pick and have jerseys made prior . Sometimes they get surprised that a player is still available and pick the player they had ranked higher but don’t have a jersey for them.

By no means all, a lot gets burned.

Same with Leafs gear, even though they never make it to the finals.
