Leafs' defenceman [Morgan Rielly](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/157191/morgan-rielly?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) has been named to Team North America's initial roster, along with 15 other U-24 players. He joins [Leo Komarov](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/156612/leo-komarov?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) as Leafs players who will play in the [World Cup of Hockey](http://www.sbnation.com/hockey-world-cup?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at the ACC, in front of a hometown crowd.

Team North America may be one of the more exciting teams in the tournament, composed of young stars like [Connor McDavid](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/255253/connor-mcdavid?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and Jack Eichel. They will not, however, be the best dressed. Here are the jersey's North America will be wearing. They're not pretty.
