Hockey Canada unveiled the Olympic hockey jerseys on Thursday for the men’s, women’s and Para teams that will compete at the Milan-Cortina Games.
Both the red and while uniforms display maple leafs crests that create the look of an “unbreakable diamond.”
“With the Olympics and Paralympics rapidly approaching, and as fans eagerly await the start of the women’s, men’s and para hockey tournaments in Milan, we are excited to unveil the jerseys our athletes will wear as they represent all Canadians across the country and around the world on the biggest stage,” said Katherine Henderson president and chief executive officer of Hockey Canada.
“These Olympic and Paralympic jerseys perfectly reflect Canadian hockey and the passion Canadian fans bring when cheering on our athletes, and we look forward to seeing our teams and fans alike wear them with pride as we look to capture gold medals in Italy.”
Designed by Nike, the jerseys were unveiled during the first intermission of the Rivalry Series opener between Canada and the U.S.
“More than just uniforms, these jerseys reflect the pride, passion and history of Canada’s Olympic hockey legacy,” said David Shoemaker, chief executive officer and secretary general of the Canadian Olympic Committee.
“These Games are an exciting time for hockey, marking not only the return of the NHL players, but the first Olympic Winter Games since the establishment of the PWHL. It’s truly a moment for the history books, and I for one can’t wait to cheer on the men’s and women’s teams at Milano Cortina 2026.”
