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
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.  And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Zechariah 12:9-10

"Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.  "So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.  "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.  "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."
Daniel 9:24-27

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.
