Niagara IceDogs fans are being warned to stay away from illegitimate merch being sold online.
Officials with the team posted a picture of a fake IceDogs jacket on Twitter, reminding fans to only buy merchandise through their official online store.
They say the sale of any illegitimate branded merchandise violates copyright infringement laws and team representatives are working to resolve the matter.
They also warn fans' private information may not be secure while making purchases from unknown online sources.
The IceDogs are launching a new online store in the coming months.
