The Best Sweaters in Canada

Hockey Day in Canada. It's the day on the NHL calendar when the six Canadian teams go head-to-head with each other. It's Saturday, Feb. 12 and it means wall to wall hockey coverage on CBC. I'll be tuning in.

This year the event is being hosted in Whitehorse, Yukon and on Friday, Feb. 11, I'll be talking to the local CBC radio station about the state of hockey uniforms — including those of the Canadian clubs. So the question is, which team has the best sweaters? One way to find out. Your vote.

The polls below will remain open until Thursday night and on Friday, the results will be revealed here on Icethetics.info and on CBC Radio in Whitehorse.

Scroll down, and cast your vote for each uniform. You can rate them 1, 5 or 10. At the end of the week, all 18 sweaters will have an average score to determine how they rank. Happy voting!

Sorry, no comments on this post. Just vote!

Next Logo Tournament Vote

The next big Icethetics logo tournament is just ahead. So what's it going to be?

Vote in the sidebar poll to the right!

The options provided are NHL secondary logos, AHL primary or ECHL primary logos. Personally, I'd like to see us move forward with the NHL secondary/shoulder marks because of the off-season changes taking place in the minor leagues.

We might be better off waiting until we know all of the teams/logos that will be in those leagues for the 2010-11 season. Just a word of warning, however, if you guys do prefer to move on to another league, we will be using the logos that were active for the 2009-10 hockey season only. (This means no OKC Barons.)

The current tournament wraps up next weekend. The winner will be revealed on May 31. The next logo tournament will begin on June 14. I realize that seems like a long delay between tourneys, but I'm going to be out of the country with extremely limited web access from June 5 (my birthday!) to June 12. I wouldn't be able to keep up with a new tournament if we started it right away.

Any questions, feel free to ask. In the meantime, vote in the sidebar poll and if you've got any other suggestions for logo tournaments, I welcome them by email.

See You at the Polls 3.8.10
