There are certain players in the history of hockey that become associated with one number. But some of those players we associate with a particular number that we think they have worn their whole career, may have in fact not always worn the number we think they did. I did some research into this and [...]

NHL All Star Game 2009
While spending a sleepless night watching hockey and surfing the intrawebs, I noticed something different about this year’s NHL All-Stars sweater. No, not that they are a little ridiculous, they have been for awhile, but notice on the left sleeve of the East and the right of the West. There appear to be numbers. At [...]

Insomnia Special: Jersey and Logos from The Habs
While waiting for the Devils, who are playing the Kings in LA, to start their game, a 3:30 AM start in Western Europe for those keeping score, I do what I usually do, surf the ‘net for hockey related tidbits. I came across a cool site about the History of the Canadiens, while looking for [...]

Sweater of the Week of 1/9: California Golden Seals
1974-1976
A new segment if you will. This weeks selection is the dark sweater of the California Golden Seals. This was the last of three different style of sweaters won by the Seals/Golden Seals in their brief history from 1967 to 1976. Since I am a believer that digital reproductions of sweaters, while helpful and fun, [...]

A new segment here at Ice Hockey Sweaters. I will be looking at the history of the teams in the NHL through their sweaters. It is nice to see illustrations of what the team wore, but I think visual evidence can give us what the uniforms looked like a little better. Much thanks goes out [...]

He Wore THAT Number?!?! Part I
There are certain players in the history of hockey that become associated with one number. But some of those players we associate with a particular number that we think they have worn their whole career, may have in fact not always worn the number we think they did. I did some research into this and [...]

I Fear this is becoming the Luongo Watch…
We have all seen this before. But today, as I check my internet sources, I came across these shenanigans. Not only does he have 2 masks, which is becoming somewhat of a trend recently, but it also has the ‘C’ in white this time. When will it stop? And when will I be able to [...]

I didn’t see this…
Notice anything amiss in the photo above?? My buddy, Roberto Luongo, is wearing a ‘C’ for the team picture. What a joke. I guess I am a traditionalist when it comes to who should wear the ‘C’. It is possible for the team to have more than one captain, but they all don’t have to [...]
