The 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship will kick off tomorrow, but the game most fans likely have circled on their calendars is on the 29th.
On Friday at 3 PM, Canada will take on the Americans in an outdoor game at New Era Field in Buffalo. The Bills are set to take on the Dolphins in Miami so the field is being used as surface for the rink instead.
The States decided to shake their jersey pattern up a bit for the big game. On June 14, USA Hockey unveiled a new sweater that is essentially a long-sleaved Buffalo Bills jersey. Everything from the colours to the striped patterns is nearly identical.
USA hockey reviled some additional pictures, including its team photo for the tournament. Similar to the Bills, the jersey features numbers on the front with writing above them.

Can we also take a moment to acknowledge Jake Oettingerโs pads? Definitely in the conversation for the nicest the tournament has seen.
If youโre a Bills fan, feel free to rock your jersey to the game because youโll fit right in with the American players.
