Gretzky In A Soviet Jersey

This past week we saw Daniel Alfredsson in a Team Canada sweater.

This of course was the result of a lost wager between Alfie and Ottawa Senator's owner Eugene Melnyk. Because Canada beat Sweden at the World Juniors, Alfie had to wear a Team Canada jersey in practice.

This reminded of this famous picture of Wayne Gretzky in a Soviet hockey jersey. No, Gretzky was not traded and nor did he defect. Many of the players exchanged jerseys at the conclusion of Rendez Vous '87. As you can see, Gretzky and Soviet captain Vyacheslav Fetisov traded jerseys.
