::On the FAN 590::
I love the fall. I was asked to be on the radio today, to provide my perspective on the issue regarding the Hockey Canada Logo controversy, both as an Olympian and a member of the COC Executive. It's a complicated issue, if you're interested in having a listen click here. Basically, there is an IOC rule that states that a National Sport Federation's symbol can't be on Olympic competition uniforms, and the IOC has stated they're getting serious about the enforcement of this rule. The acted accordingly with the Brazilian Soccer Team in Beijing. The logo in question is a corporate logo, and it's my opinion that the Canadian Hockey Team, like all other teams and individuals at the Olympic Games, should abide by the rule and play with the Maple Leaf on their jersey.
