from CBC,
The jerseys feature a large maple leaf crest in the centre on either a red or white background. Inside the crest are smaller maple leaves representing the gold medal counts for Canada’s men’s, women’s and ice sledge hockey teams, and a nod to the traditional Team Canada image of a hockey player and stick.
But the design also includes a thunderbird and an eagle — two powerful First Nations symbols — supporting and protecting the central maple leaf. A small Nike swoosh appears above and to the left of the maple leaf.

Malik, I’m starting to agree that you are a showoff 
I really like the design and its subtle nod to the indigenous population as well. Good stuff all around.
Wonder what Sweden/Russia will wear to battle for the gold?
