Team Canada hockey jerseys unveiled
Hockey Canada unveiled their newest jerseys Tuesday, which will be worn by all teams representing the country internationally.
The new Nike-designed jerseys were introduced at a press conference that featured women's national team captain Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada's sledge hockey captain Greg Westlake, Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Mitchell Stephens, Philadelphia Flyers' Travis Konecny, and New York Islanders draft pick Matt Barzal, who all donned the jerseys.
The design pays homage to next year's 150th anniversary of Canada's Confederation, with a patch on the shoulder, as well as the country's past hockey achievements.
The jerseys will see their first action at the upcoming World Junior Summer Showcase this week as Canada - likely featuring Stephens, Konecny, and Barzal - takes on Finland, Sweden, and the United States in a development tournament ahead of the World Junior Hockey Championships in December.
