Hockey Canada made an interesting decision this week announcing that Canadas' World Junior hockey team will wear a green jersey for 2 games during the World Junior Hockey Tournament instead of the traditional red or black. The tournament will be taking place in Regina and Saskatoon this January 2010.
The reaction by fans on the TSN website has been almost completely negative verging on hostile.
The funny thing is that Hockey Canada chose to wear the colour as tribute to the provinces pro football team, The Saskatchewan Roughriders.
It's kind of funny but I like it like the decision. Why not? They look great.
If Canada does lose the 2 games when they wear them, which I'm willing to bet right now they don't, everyone will blame the colour. Go green!
