Since the Winnipeg Falcons represented Canada at the 1920 Olympic Summer Games, Canadian teams on the biggest stage in sports have worn jerseys that have celebrated the country, its provinces and communities and the Armed Forces.

But which one is the best?

That’s what we want to figure out… and we need your help!

We’ve selected 16 of our favourite Team Canada looks from the Olympics, and over the next 12 days—leading up to the first drop of the puck in Italy—we’re putting it to a vote across our social media channels – on X and Instagram Story.

The 16 Olympics represented in the vote include:

• 1920 Olympic Summer Games (Winnipeg Falcons)
• 1932 Olympic Winter Games (The Winnipegs)
• 1948 Olympic Winter Games (RCAF Flyers)
• 1952 Olympic Winter Games (Edmonton Mercurys)
• 1956 Olympic Winter Games (Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen)
• 1964 Olympic Winter Games
• 1968 Olympic Winter Games
• 1980 Olympic Winter Games
• 1988 Olympic Winter Games
• 1994 Olympic Winter Games
• 1998 Olympic Winter Games
• 2002 Olympic Winter Games
• 2010 Olympic Winter Games
• 2014 Olympic Winter Games
• 2018 Olympic Winter Games
• 2026 Olympic Winter Games

Votes will be combined across multiple platforms, so just because a jersey captures a higher percentage of the votes on one platform does not necessarily mean it will win the overall vote. Check out the bracket at the top of the page – it will be updated after each matchup.

Matchups in the first-round (two per day), quarterfinals and semifinals will be open for 24 hours, with the final lasting 48 hours to help us crown Team Canada’s best-ever Olympic look.

CALGARY, Alberta – With less than 100 days until the start of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, Hockey Canada has unveiled the two jerseys that Canada’s women’s, men’s and para hockey teams will wear in Milan, Italy.

The Team Canada Olympic and Paralympic hockey jersey, which include traditional red and white versions that were designed by Nike, was unveiled Thursday night during the TSN and RDS broadcast of the Rivalry Series game between Canada’s National Women’s Team and the United States in Cleveland, Ohio.

“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 (Thunder Bay, ON), 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.”  

The jersey’s iconic Maple Leaf crest combines sublimated satin twill and silicon to create the look of an unbreakable diamond, reflecting the ability of Canadian hockey legends of the past and present to withstand incredible pressure. It also represents the commitment to excellence that all Canadians expect, unifying players and fans by honouring the legacy of the Maple Leaf and hockey’s importance throughout the country. The red jersey features a bold, multi-shade black Maple Leaf with two black stripes on the arms and across the bottom, and perforated white numbers on the back that allow the base colour of the jersey to be accented. The white jersey features a similar look, with a multi-tone red crest, two red stripes that differ in colour to match the crest and red perforated numbers on the back that give the jersey a clean and classic Canadian look.

Before Canada’s women’s, men’s and para hockey teams begin their quest for gold medals in Italy, fans can purchase their own Bauer replica jersey for as low as $149.99 (plus taxes) at shop.hockeycanada.ca starting Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT. All other retailers will have product available for sale starting Nov. 14. As part of a commitment from Hockey Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) to grow sport in Canada, a portion of the proceeds from all jersey sales will be reinvested into winter sports in the country.

“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.”

CALGARY, Alberta – As part of the road to Italy, Hockey Canada has invited 92 players from its men’s, women’s and para hockey teams to attend its National Teams Orientation Camp, set for Aug. 26-28 in Calgary. 

The National Teams Orientation Camp is a three-day, off-ice event with players and staff from all three programs, which will include presentations, team-building opportunities, team meetings and media opportunities in preparation for the upcoming season.

“We are excited to unveil the 92 athletes who will kick off the road to Italy, and to bring our men’s, women’s and para hockey teams together for three days as the first step towards our goal of winning triple gold in February,” said Scott Salmond (Creston, BC), Hockey Canada’s senior vice-president of high performance and hockey operations. “While the next several months will bring intense evaluation and difficult roster decisions, we look forward to kicking off the season in Calgary and giving our athletes and staff a chance to come together and start to become one team as we set our sights on February.”

With the drop of the puck in Beijing, another Olympic Winter Games is underway and another chapter of Team Canada hockey history is set to be written in China.

As part of Black History Month, let’s take a look back at the five Black athletes who have helped – and are helping – write that history.

DARREN LOWE

1984 – 7GP 2G 2A 4P (4th place)

The trailblazer, Lowe became Canada’s first Black Olympian at the 1984 Games in Sarajevo. The Toronto product scored twice – getting the Canadians even early in the third period of an eventual 4-2 win over Finland and counting the game-winner in an 8-1 win over Austria – and added a pair of assists, putting his name on the scoresheet in each of the first four games (all Canadian wins).

CLAUDE VILGRAIN

1988 – 6GP 0G 0A 0P (4th place)

Born in Haiti and raised in Quebec City, Vilgrain was a Team Canada staple in the mid-1980s, playing 145 games with Canada’s National Men’s Team from 1986-88. That run concluded in Calgary, where he went scoreless in six games in the home-ice Games.

JAROME IGINLA

2002 – 6GP 3G 1A 4P (gold medal)
2006 – 6GP 2G 1A 3P (7th place)
2010 – 7GP 5G 2A 7P (gold medal)

The 2021 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee was front and centre in a pair of games that will forever have a place in Olympic hockey lore. In 2002, the St. Albert, Alta., native scored twice and added an assist in a 5-2 gold medal game win over the U.S. that ended a 50-year drought for Canada. Eight years later, cries of ‘Iggy! Iggy! Iggy!’ rang in the ears of Canadian fans as Iginla set up Sidney Crosby for the Golden Goal in Vancouver.

P.K. SUBBAN

2014 – 1GP 0G 0A 0P (gold medal)

Has there ever been a better seventh defenceman? As part of a deep Canadian blue-line, Subban – the reigning Norris Trophy winner – got into just a single game in Sochi, playing 11:41 in a 6-0 prelim win over Austria.

SARAH NURSE

2018 – 5GP 1G 0A 1P (silver medal)

The first Black woman to wear red and white on the biggest stage in sports, Nurse netted just a single goal in PyeongChang, but it was a beauty in a big game – she wired home the game-winner in a 2-1 preliminary-round victory over the U.S. The Hamilton, Ont., product is back for a second Games in Beijing, eyeing a bigger role and a different finish.

CALGARY, Alta. – With just over two months until the 2022 Olympic Winter Games get underway, Hockey Canada has unveiled the three Nike jerseys that Canada’s men’s, women’s and para hockey teams will wear in Beijing, China.

The Team Canada Olympic and Paralympic hockey jersey, which comes in traditional red and white, as well as a black version, was unveiled on Tuesday night during the TSN and RDS broadcast of the Rivalry Series game between Canada’s National Women’s Team and the United States in Ottawa, Ont.

“The Olympics and Paralympics are the pinnacle of sport, and we are excited to unveil the three jerseys that our men’s, women’s and para hockey athletes will wear as they represent our country on sport’s biggest stage in Beijing,” said Tom Renney, chief executive officer of Hockey Canada. “We know how passionate Canadian hockey fans are, and we know fans from coast to coast to coast will embrace the new jerseys as they cheer on our country’s best hockey players. We look forward to wearing these spectacular jerseys on the ice in Beijing, and seeing Canadians all around the world supporting our teams in the Olympic and Paralympic jersey.”

The Team Canada Olympic and Paralympic jersey boldly positions the iconic Canadian Maple Leaf as the centre crest, with the red jersey featuring a unique and striking black Maple Leaf and black accents, while the white jersey showcases a classic red leaf and red accents throughout the jersey. The third jersey is a black-on-black design, with a black base complimented by a black Maple Leaf highlighted with a red outline. All three jerseys were built for performance and sustainability using Nike Swift technology, which enhances mobility, reduces weight and helps minimize distractions during intense competition

“There is no greater honour in sport than representing your country on the world’s biggest stage at the Olympics and Paralympics, and our men’s, women’s and para hockey team hopefuls are excited by the opportunity to wear these three jerseys that embody Canadian hockey,” said Scott Smith, president and chief operating officer of Hockey Canada. “We know our athletes, staffs and hockey fans alike will wear these jerseys with a tremendous amount of pride when our hockey teams head to Beijing represented by one leaf, as one team with one goal in mind, and that is bringing three gold medals back to Canada.”

Before Canada’s men’s, women’s and para hockey teams begin their quest for gold medals in Beijing, fans can purchase their own jersey for $180 (plus applicable taxes) by visiting shop.hockeycanada.ca. Replica Team Canada Olympic hockey jerseys are also available for purchase in-store and online at Sport Chek and other select retailers.

“Team Canada’s hockey jerseys are one of the most iconic symbols of the Olympic Winter Games,” said David Shoemaker, chief executive officer and secretary general of the Canadian Olympic Committee. “The red, white and black of the jerseys represent Canada’s rich history as the most successful country in Olympic hockey. Canada’s 22 hockey medals, including 13 gold, are a testament to the excellent work of Hockey Canada and the quality of Canada’s athletes. I can’t wait to cheer on the men’s and women’s teams at the Games.”

2002 – CANADA 5, UNITED STATES 2
Joe Sakic finished an MVP performance with two goals and two assists, scoring the game-winning goal in the second period to lead Canada to a 5-2 win over the United States and a historic gold medal in Salt Lake City.

The victory ended a 50-year Olympic drought for Canada, which had not stood on top of the podium since the Edmonton Mercurys were golden at the 1952 Games in Oslo.

A showdown of the two most star-studded teams didn’t disappoint, with the Canadians nursing a one-goal lead until the final minutes in front of a capacity crowd of 8,599 at the E Center, and a Canadian-record television audience of 10.3 million (a mark that stood until the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver).

After Tony Amonte opened the scoring for the U.S. just shy of the nine-minute mark, Paul Kariya tied it on a goal best remembered for Mario Lemieux letting the Chris Pronger pass go through his legs to Kariya.

Jarome Iginla shoveled in a centering pass from Sakic to give Canada its first lead late in the first period, but Brian Rafalski got the Americans even on a power play in the second.

Sakic put Canada back up for good with just 98 seconds left in the middle frame, getting his shot through traffic and past Mike Richter for a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes.

Martin Brodeur kept the U.S. off the scoresheet after that, finishing a 31-save performance, and goals from Iginla and Sakic in the last four minutes set off a coast-to-coast-to-coast party unseen for a half-decade.

Few Canadian Olympic rosters are as decorated as the 2002 edition – 12 players are members of the Hockey Hall of Fame (Belfour, Blake, Kariya, Lemieux, Lindros, MacInnis, Niedermayer, Nieuwendyk, Pronger, Sakic, Shanahan, Yzerman) with Brodeur and Iginla likely to follow in the coming years.

OTHER GAMES

1952 – Canada racked up 58 shots, the fourth-most in a game in Canadian Olympic history, in a 3-3 tie with the United States. The single point was enough for the Edmonton Mercurys to secure the gold medal, the fifth for Canada in six Olympics.

1960 – Don Head pitched a 38-save shutout, his second in as many games, and Canada got two goals from Floyd Martin and one each from Darryl Sly and George Samolenko in a 4-0 win over Czechoslovakia.

1988 – Canada couldn’t solve goaltender Sergey Mylnikov, and dropped a 5-0 decision to the Soviet Union to open the medal round in Calgary.

2010 – Ryan Getzlaf, Dan Boyle, Rick Nash and Brenden Morrow scored goals in the first period, and Canada cruised to a 7-3 quarter-final win over Russia. Boyle finished with a goal and two assists, Corey Perry scored twice and 14 players had at least a point for the Canadians, who racked up 21 shots in the first period to take control early.

2014 – CANADA 3, SWEDEN 0
Canada made it back-to-back Olympic gold medals for the first time since 1948 and 1952, completing a dominant run through the tournament by blanking the Swedes.

The Canadians were perfect in Sochi, and they did it with defence – Canada allowed just one goal in three medal round games, blanking the U.S. in the semifinals and Sweden in the final, and just three overall in six games, the best defensive performance in modern Olympic history.

“Right from goaltending all the way out, we didn’t give up a whole lot,” Canadian captain Sidney Crosby told The Canadian Press. “I think just as a group everyone was committed. It would’ve been easy to kind of feel the pressure of not scoring as much and try to force things, and that’s probably when we’d end up in big trouble. We stuck with it and knew what we had to do and knew how we had to win.”

Jonathan Toews opened the scoring for Canada in the gold medal game – just as he did four years earlier in Vancouver – and Crosby added one of his own, albeit in a far less dramatic fashion than his golden goal on home ice in 2010.

It took Canada all of 13 minutes of the first period to get the only offence it would need, with Jeff Carter finding Toews streaking to the net to redirect in the 1-0 goal.

Crosby netted his first of the tournament late in the second period, racing in on a breakaway and tucking the puck around Swedish goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, and Chris Kunitz added a little more insurance midway through the third.

Canada held the high-powered Swedes to 24 shots on goal, and only 13 in the final 40 minutes.

Carey Price completed a record-setting run in the Canadian goal, earning his second shutout of the tournament to finish with a 0.59 goals-against average, the best such mark in Canadian Olympic history.

Canada became the first gold medallist to run the table since the Soviet Union in 1984, and went the entire tournament – more than 362 minutes – without trailing in any game.

“It sounds cliché, but defence wins championships,” said Rick Nash.

OTHER GAMES

1952 – Canada scored twice in the opening two minutes and cruised to an 11-2 win over Norway. Bruce Dickson’s goal 25 seconds in and Tom Pollack’s at 1:59 are the fastest two goals from the start of the game in Canadian Olympic history.

1992 – Canada played its way into the first-ever Olympic gold medal game, but fell 3-1 to the Unified Team. Chris Lindberg scored the lone goal for the Canadians, who ended a 24-year Olympic medal drought with the silver.

1994 – Paul Kariya scored six minutes into overtime to give Canada a 3-2 quarter-final win over the Czech Republic. Brian Savage had the other two Canadian goals.

2010 – Fifteen players found their way onto the score sheet as Canada defeated Germany for the 15th straight time at the Olympics, 8-2. Jarome Iginla, who scored twice, Joe Thornton, Shea Weber, Sidney Crosby, Mike Richards, Scott Niedermeyer and Rick Nash had the Canadian goals.
