Team Canada Reveals 2026 Olympic Hockey Jerseys
Team Canada's Olympic and Paralympic hockey uniforms were presented during the women's national team's Rivalry Series game against the United States. The team will wear black and red maple leaf designs again at the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Italy.
Jersey Designs
Hockey Canada showcased the jerseys during the first intermission of the Rivalry Series matchup against the United States on Thursday. There are two versions for the Olympics:
- A red jersey with a multi-toned black maple leaf crest, 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 emblem is crafted to resemble an unbreakable diamond. It combines sublimated satin twill and silicon elements to create this effect.
On the back, the red jersey displays white numbers, while the white jersey uses red numbers. Both have dotted accents that give the numerals a three-dimensional, perforated appearance.
Notable Olympic Firsts
- This Olympics marks the debut appearance of Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) players, as the league was established in 2023.
- It's also the first time since 2014 (Sochi) that NHL players will be part of the Olympic competition.
Previous Olympic Jerseys
In the 2022 Beijing Olympics, Team Canada sported a red jersey with a black maple leaf and black sleeve stripes. Their other options included a white jersey with a red maple leaf and a black jersey with a black maple leaf and red stripes.
Hockey Canada described the maple leaf crest as "an unbreakable diamond" combining satin twill and silicon for its unique look.
