I wonder how much of a kickback they are getting on those?
Time for a letter writing campaign on this one.
Hard to find email addresses, and I had two "Undeliverables".

Here is a sample message:
Dear Hockey Canada,
I read with horror about the adoption of a Livestrong jersey for the National Women’s hockey team.
Since when does a Canadian National Team embrace the colors of a corporate sponsor?
That, however, is a minor point.
Lance Armstrong is widely held as the biggest fraud in sport, ever. Livestrong is his namesake. Lance profits directly from the Livestrong.com site, which is not even controlled by the Livestrong organization. Appearance fees for Lance to speak about Livestrong go directly to Lance, and are not, ever, redirected to the Livestrong charity. An IRS investigation was revealed last November.
By wearing this jersey you are soliciting business for Lance Armstrong, the biggest sport fraud himself.
Team Canada has set itself up for a major embarrassment and scandal.
And, as our National Team, you are embarrassing the entire country.
I can only encourage you to rethink your decision. With haste.
Dave.
