from the CP via TSN,
While officials debate what jersey Team Canada will wear at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, it’s clear that player loyalty to the Hockey Canada Maple Leaf logo in question runs deep.
‘‘Simply put, a lot of us wore that jersey, wore that logo - we won a gold medal in that jersey,’’ said Steve Yzerman, executive director of the 2010 men’s team. ‘‘It does have some special significance to us.’‘...
For Eric Staal, seeing his name on a Canadian jersey at the world under-18 championship in 2002 meant that he was getting closer to achieving his dream of playing in the NHL.
‘‘I still remember putting it on the first time and seeing that logo and knowing that I was one of the elite players of that age in the country,’’ said Staal, now a forward with the Carolina Hurricanes. ‘‘It’s something I’ll remember forever.’‘

It’s not like they can’t just use one of the old logos from past sweaters. Or even the current shoulder patch. They just can’t use Hockey Canada’s logo, specifically. No big deal.
