I dont own a hockey jersey right now but would like to buy one for next season when i plan on attending many games, i only attended 2 this year, 1 win, 1 loss, both were a great experience anyway..... But to the point, is it like other sports jerseys where the authentics run bigger than the replicas? I want to get a jersey but i dont want it to be too big or too small.....How much bigger do they run? And how come i cant find any jerseys with names on them?

IceJerseys.com has some good sizing info and comparisons on their site. Their sizing chart has the general conversions between authentic and replica sizes.

You'll find the authentics are cut larger in the shoulder/arm area to fit over pads. The sleeves are wider and have the underarm gussets (extra fabric connecting the body to the sleeves, providing better movement and more allowance) that don't appear on the replicas. If you look closely at the photos (click on the authentic and replica links above) you can see the difference in how the sleeves are connected.

I own several replicas (L with some XL thrown in) and recently got an authentic in a size 48 since that's the suggested size. Although I'm fine with the sizing, I have the suspicion I might even be able to fit into an authentic 46 (while a replica M would look snug) simply because of the added room at the top of the jersey. The authentics do taper and fit pretty much the same as the replicas do from the bottom part of the crest on down.

I'm only 5'2" but about 180 and female (so a little room in the chest is fine with me ;) ). Other than the sleeves ending at my fingertips, a L is pretty much a perfect fit. I can go up to XL but can't go down to M. I think anything bigger than a 48 would be too big but might be able to wear a 46.
