Love to see it from our boy!

My first time seeing the uniforms... they are wild- and the ads are insane. I always forget Euro hockey does that. I hope it never comes here.

When I first moved to Switzerland, TV timeouts were unthinkable in European hockey, so I considered the passive advertising on the uniforms to be a good tradeoff.  Of course, now they also have two "powerbreaks" a period, plus the ads.

Some sports (cricket, rugby) even have sponsorship logos on the uniforms for national teams.

Some of the teams in the World Juniors did, too.

They'll be back again in 2026: https://www.spenglercup.ch/en/news/us-collegiate-selects-return-spengler-cup

No Team Canada, which is unusual for the Spengler Cup, but it will feature Adler Mannheim, whom Lance Nethery coached to three straight German titles back in the 90s, although he won the Spengler Cup itself in 1999 with the Kölner Haie, the season after he left Mannheim.

Assuming Walsh comes back for his senior year, would we expect him to be a shoo-in to go back to Davos?
