Next year, the Four Nations Face-Off is coming to the United States and Canada as those two nations will compete against the likes of Sweden and Finland.

It is a tournament that will include some of the best players in the entire National Hockey League. While the rosters are not finalized, there is no denying that this is going to be a very interesting tournament. The league wanted to try and get its players involved in the International game again, and while it might not be a huge success at first, there is still a ton of hype around it.

Today, a huge development for the tournament was brought forward in the form of a new graphic released by the NHLPA. As you can see below, every team's jersey has officially been unveiled.

Unfortunately, the Team Canada jersey leaves a lot to be desired here. It is not the iconic Hockey Canada jersey that has been around for so long. In fact, none of the jerseys here are exactly like what we are used to. Of course, the Four Nations Face-Off is looking to distinguish itself, so it makes sense that there are some differences. Regardless, some Canadian fans are disappointed.

Perhaps the passage of time will change people's opinions. Until then, it would appear as though complaints will be what we are subjected to for some time.
