Hockey Canada, COC Reach Agreement on Jersey Logo
Now that they've decided what to wear, Canadians can move onto to thinking about who's gonna play instead...
CALGARY -- Hockey Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee are back to being one, big, happy family.
The two sides have settled their months-old differences and come to an agreement on what jersey the men's and women's hockey teams should wear at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
While the COC had previously declined to support Hockey Canada's traditional jersey, the one with a silhouetted player skating inside a red-and-black maple leaf, it agreed Saturday to submit a modified version to the International Olympic Committee.
The IOC had repeatedly informed the COC it was going to enforce its rules restricting what athletes wear on their Olympic uniforms. But late last week, IOC president Jacques Rogge told the Canadian Press he thought there could be a compromise between the COC and Hockey Canada. The COC then announced it would pass along an altered version of Hockey Canada's 14-year-old trademark jersey given the IOC's "flexible approach."

We'll have to see what the "altered version" looks like and how "flexible" the IOC really is...

This is one of several Shanahan jerseys in my collection.
