The Unveiling Event
The new jerseys were presented on 6 November in Ohio, during the yearly Rivalry Series clash between Canada and the United States, two of hockey’s fiercest competitors. This meeting may preview what to expect in women’s hockey at the upcoming Games.
Design and Symbolism
- Three versions were revealed: red, black, and white.
- The red and black jerseys display a maple leaf in matching tones — black on black and red on white.

The design embodies resilience and unity, symbolizing the enduring spirit of Canadian hockey and the pursuit of excellence under pressure.
