Team Canada Olympic Hockey Jersey Receives Mixed Reviews

Team Canada has unveiled its new uniforms for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milano Cortina, which will take place in February. With only a few months before the tournament begins, Hockey Canada introduced two designs: the classic white-and-red and a contemporary red-and-black version.

“Every stitch reflects our resilience, pride and belonging, forged through time and pressure,”

wrote Hockey Canada in a social media post highlighting close-up details of the new jerseys, described as “a symbol forged in ice.”

The maple leaf crests — red on the white tops and black on the red uniforms — are designed to resemble an “unbreakable diamond,” reflecting toughness and endurance under pressure. Hockey Canada stated that the design symbolizes the team’s strength and unity.

Replica jerseys are available on the Hockey Canada website, with a share of proceeds directed toward supporting winter sports development across the country.
