Team Canada Reveals 2026 Olympic Hockey Jerseys
Team Canada introduced their Olympic and Paralympic hockey jerseys during the women's national team's Rivalry Series game against the United States. The 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics will see Canada wearing jerseys featuring black and red maple leaves once again, continuing a proud tradition.
Jersey Design and Features
Hockey Canada revealed the jerseys during the first intermission of the women's game on Thursday. The team will have two options:
- A red jersey with a multi-toned black maple leaf crest and black stripes on the sleeves and hem.
- A white jersey featuring a multi-toned red maple leaf and red stripes on the sleeves and bottom.
The maple leaf crest was crafted to resemble an unbreakable diamond using a mix of sublimated satin twill and silicon, according to Hockey Canada’s news release. The jersey numbers are white on the red jersey and red on the white one, with dotted accents that enhance a 3D, perforated effect.
