Hockey Canada revealed the new Olympic jerseys on Thursday for the men’s, women’s, and Para hockey teams set to compete at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Games. The red and white uniforms feature maple leaf crests designed to resemble 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.

The jerseys, created by Nike and introduced during the first intermission of the Rivalry Series game between Canada and the U.S., embody Canadian hockey’s spirit and the passion fans bring to support the teams.

“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,” Henderson added.

Hockey Canada shared on social media: “Every stitch reflects our resilience, pride and belonging, forged through time and pressure. Introducing the 2026 Team Canada jersey.”
