Hearst Lumberjacks Junior Hockey Team Pays Homage to Claude Giroux

Claude Giroux's influence as a hockey player has trickled down to his hometown of Hearst, Ontario in Canada.

Hearst will start a junior hockey team called the Lumberjacks. And the team's logo and uniforms is a big testament to Giroux, who has made a generous donation to help the team get started.

Here's a look at the team's photos and their jerseys, which should look familiar.
