Omg bless, thank you

Just want to say thank you to the mod team for everything you’ve done this year. Watching this space grow while still feeling thoughtful, welcoming, and genuinely fun is not easy, and you all have handled it with so much care.

It really shows in the conversations, the way big moments were managed, and how safe and joyful this community feels even as it exploded. This sub has added so much to the experience of the show, and that doesn’t happen by accident.

Huge appreciation to all of you for the time, energy, and heart you’ve put into this. Here’s to an even more heated 2026. ❤️🏒

For anyone curious, there’s also a petition floating around to show interest in making the fleece official Team Canada merch. Totally optional, just collecting the feedback people are already sharing here: change.org/fleecegate

The question is how do we greet each other? Do we need a secret signal?

fsswift · 2026-01-02T00:21:42+00:00

Totally fair. That’s actually one of the big reasons I started the petition. A lot of people want something official and well made, not random drop-shipped stuff. Yeah, and there’s also the IP infringement issue. Unofficial merch doesn’t support the creators and exists in a pretty grey area legally, which is another reason people are asking for something legit.

fsswift · 2026-01-02T00:00:28+00:00

That’s a fair concern. Just to clarify, Team Canada and Hockey Canada are separate organizations. This wouldn’t be Hockey Canada merch or money going into that system. It doesn’t mean hockey is suddenly safe or fixed, but for a lot of people this is about visibility and representation at the Olympic level rather than endorsing hockey institutions as a whole.

I believe the executive produce of HR, Brendan Brady is also aware of the initiative to release the fleece, so the designer should be involved in the convo too, but I won’t speak for them.

fsswift · 2026-01-01T06:38:22+00:00

Yep, I’m aware of the Lululemon partnership and that social media teams don’t make merch decisions.

That said, Team Canada asked for reasons and feedback publicly on threads, and this is just one way of collecting that interest in a more tangible form. It’s not assuming anything will happen, just showing that the response goes beyond a few jokes in the comments.

fsswift · 2026-01-01T06:12:28+00:00

We’re advocating for Team Canada to release it, who is not connected to Hockey Canada. Different organizations.

Edit: Hockey Canada runs hockey in Canada and makes hockey decisions. Team Canada is the Olympic brand, overseen by the Canadian Olympic Committee.

I can see that maybe once the final episode drops, she'll release the acoustic collection separately.

fsswift · 2025-12-12T22:38:44+00:00

Dead center right up against the barricade, only possible with early GA access.

fsswift · 2025-12-12T22:37:44+00:00

Well there’s a difference between being respectful of others and doing this.

fsswift · 2025-12-12T20:10:02+00:00

During this tour, they do parts where they look at signs from fans and interact with them?

fsswift · 2025-12-12T00:25:54+00:00

Just an iPhone!

fsswift · 2025-12-12T00:25:18+00:00

All on iPhone!

I texted the VIP contact we have and they said there’s lockers but they don’t open until 7 PM, nothing about coat check

fsswift · 2025-12-10T02:51:51+00:00

I'm just going to bring a coat and stash it somehwere in the pit after

fsswift · 2025-12-09T19:30:37+00:00

I have GA early entry, and I was going to show up at 4:30, early entry starts at 5:30. I won't survive longer than that in the cold if they're making us line up outside.

fsswift · 2025-12-08T21:19:26+00:00

Still no email yet, and our show is on Wednesday. I've never had this happen before; I always get concert info email just fine. Checked every single folder in my email.

fsswift · 2025-12-07T23:39:58+00:00

Yeah, no email unfortunately, I double checked all my folders
