Well, it only shows to go, that even those who get these jobs/positions at some point in their careers, doesn't necessarily mean it was based on what they knew/know but rather based on some other means.

From Don Cherry.

Don Cherry was quoted in the Mental Floss article as saying:

“[Hockey] sweaters are now called jerseys, if you can believe it, and we’ve sort of accepted that. But in Canada, it was always called a sweater… Americans used jerseys when they were playing football; then, when they finally got around to playing hockey, they used the same name. Nowadays, most kids call sweaters jerseys. Another little part of our hockey heritage is gone.”
