If one thing became clear after our Greatest Jersey’s of All-Time special edition magazine and summer Jersey Rankings and Tournament on THN.com, it’s that people love hockey sweaters, especially when it comes to debating the merits of one versus another.
So with the Olympics in full swing, it’s the perfect time to rank the 13 countries taking part in hockey. Although this is my blog, I thought it best to employ the same method we used for our league rankings. A panel of THN staffers and interns debated the pros and cons of each outfit and if a deadlock was reached, it was put to a vote.
Prior to ranking the jerseys, fellow sweater aficionado Ryan Kennedy and I chose either the home or away version for each country based on which we believed best represented the team.
