Chicago's phenom Connor Bedard seen in new colors for the first time

As the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) tournament approaches, Team Canada is already making waves in Vienna, Austria, not just with their game play but also with their striking new jerseys.

With exhibition games underway, the team, including NHL sensation Connor Bedard, recently clashed with Team Austria in a game that was more than just a friendly match�it was a showcase of resilience and style.

Connor Bedard, affectionately known as "Bedsy," and his teammates found themselves in a tough matchup against a determined Austrian team.

Bedard shared that the Austrians "refused to give up ice freely" and seemed to thrive off the local crowd's energy. For those interested in catching a glimpse of the action, more details can be found in a tweet from Boston HTR:

However, it wasn't just the on-ice action that caught the eye. Team Canada debuted new jerseys that are turning heads. These aren't your run-of-the-mill hockey sweaters.

They bring a nostalgic touch with a crest that echoes Canadian designs from the 1980s�sleek lines slicing through the Maple Leaf, complemented by tasteful red, white, and black accents that give the jerseys a distinctly European flair without being overpowering.

It's a subtle nod to classic aesthetics paired with a modern twist, reminiscent yet not as bold as Sweden's vibrant designs.

There's already buzz around when and where these new jerseys will be available for fans. With their eye-catching design and historical homage, they're likely to be a hit both on and off the ice.

In the midst of intense preparation for the IIHF tournament, Team Canada's spirited play and snazzy jerseys are a reminder of the excitement and passion that international hockey brings to the rink.
