The 2016 World Cup of Hockey will truly be unlike anything we've ever seen.
While clubs began to announce their initial 16-man rosters Wednesday, leaked logos for the teams also began surfacing online Wednesday through Icethetics, with each established team appearing to offer slight variations on looks we've come to expect - and others having to start from scratch.
Team USA appears to have found a new take on its simple logos of the past.

Canada has seemingly overhauled the classic maple leaf, with changes including chopping off the stem.

Things get interesting with Team Europe, which reportedly has a slick blue-and-teal crest with the letter E and what looks to be a hockey stick, resembling the Vancouver Canucks' current third jersey.

Things get intriguing with the under-23 North American team, whose logo apparently includes an interlocking "NA" hanging over the Roman numerals for 23.
