This is the Israeli World Junior hockey team jersey.  I didn't know hockey was in Israel cause hockey is generally a cold country sport.

They are some pretty nice looking jerseys I might add.

I would watch cause I love the sport and have for almost 30 years.

That's really smart looking.  I have to say though that the idea of Israeli hockey is like the Jamaican bobsled team, although I hear there are a fair number of rinks in Israel.  Go Israel.  I live in the worlds only hockey superpower Canada  :P

Good find, MasterWolf.  I had actually seen the jersey a little while back and was impressed by it, the colors and sharp design.  It's nice to see Israel interested in hockey, a great game.  Part of it has to do with the similarities between soccer and hockey, but the main component I believe is the influx of former Soviet Jews into Israel who grew up playing hockey.  I would venture to guess that the early teams rely primarily on immigrant players.  Hope they do as well as possible, but realistically they probably can't beat European teams that have been together for years and years.  We'll see.  In any event, I wish I could order one of those jerseys.
