Team Sweden has unveiled its jerseys for
the Milan Olympics. The sweater features the classic Three Crowns on the chest,
a constant hallmark throughout the history of Swedish hockey.
Sweden has already named six players to its
roster. Those are Adrian Kempe (Los Angeles Kings), Victor Hedman (Tampa Bay
Lightning), Lucas Raymond (Detroit Red Wings), Gabriel Landeskog (Colorado
Avalanche), Rasmus Dahlin (Buffalo Sabres), and William Nylander (Toronto Maple
Leafs).
The last time Sweden won Olympic gold, the tournament was also held in Italy (2006). That year it was the golden Swedish generation, with Peter Forsberg, Mats Sundin, and Nicklas Lidström leading the way. Before that, Sweden also won gold in 1994, when Forsberg scored the decisive shootout goal on Corey Hirsch in the Canadian net.
Other hockey teams that have already revealed their jerseys for the Olympics include Canada, Czechia, Finland, France, Slovakia and the USA.
