2010 TEAM CANADA OLYMPIC JERSEY UNVEILED.
17 August 2009
Hockey Canada has proudly unveiled Team Canada’s 2010 Jersey. This Commemorative jersey will be worn in the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Vancouver by the Men’s, Women’s and Sledge teams representing Canada.
The 2010 Hockey Jersey honours the game and celebrates our rich Canadian history and culture. It is a testament to the essential role hockey plays in Canada.
Nike, in collaboration with a Vancouver-based artist, designed a jersey that tells an intricate story by incorporating imagery from across our country. This unique design features many aspects of Canada’s rich history through icons and cultural symbols. The dominant imagery depicted inside the Maple Leaf crest includes smaller Maple Leafs representing the gold medal count for our men’s and women’s teams, the thunderbird and eagle, two powerful First Nations symbols supporting and protecting the central Maple Leaf – and of course the heralded hockey player and stick.
The jersey will be available for purchase in August 2009 at retailers across Canada.
