Montreal Victoire forward Marie Philip-Poulin also donated one of her PWHL jerseys, while Sarah Nurse contributed with her minor league Ancaster Avalanche jersey.<\/p>\n
The \u201cGreat Canadian Jersey\u201d also includes patches from the seven Canadian NHL teams, various minor league hockey teams, women\u2019s and girl\u2019s hockey teams and beer league and old timer\u2019s hockey teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Great Canadian Jersey is an artistic celebration of how hockey connects Canadians,\u201d Terrie Tweddle, chief brand and communications officer at Rogers said in a press release. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful to fans across the country who donated a jersey from their own collection to show their pride for our game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former OHL player turned fashion designer Cameron Lizotte designed the jersey. He created five unique versions of the sweater, which will be worn by Canada\u2019s top players in the coming weeks as a symbol of national pride.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe design process for The Great Canadian Jersey was rooted in collaboration and storytelling, and the pride we all share in our game,\u201d said Lizotte in the press release. \u201cEvery stitch is intentional, and every patch has meaning. Together, with representation from every province and territory, the jersey is a symbol of unity and a single expression of Canadian identity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Montreal Victoire forward Marie Philip-Poulin also donated one of her PWHL jerseys, while Sarah Nurse contributed with her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-439385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
