Majestic does make some sense — it's owned by Fanatics, which already does the replicas.

Checking Wikipedia, it looks like CCM is independent again, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them take back control.
I believe the Adidas on-ice jerseys are still made in the same factory in Quebec where the CCM/Koho and Reebok jerseys were made before (unless that changed recently).
I think Under Armour makes a lot of the NCAA jerseys (they made Boston College's when Gaudreau played there).
New Era took over the CFL jerseys a couple years ago, so they could be interested.

Wonder if you see Fanatics Buy CCM and go that route...wouldn't surprise me to be honest.
I kind of liked the 90s era of teams having different manufacturers. Starter, CCM, Red Wings and Blackhawks and maybe a couple others had Nike jerseys. I've seen/had Flames jerseys from then made by CCM, Starter, and Pro Player. Then I think it was all Koho and CCM when they went away from the pedestal jerseys, before the league-wide under the same manufacturer system took over (after 2004-05 lockout?).
It looks like Nurse is wearing a jersey that it basically the same as the Adizeros without the waffle pattern on the shoulders.
It wouldn't surprise me if CCM is still manufacturing the on-ice jerseys under contract to Adidas, and will probably just take over the contract with the league when it expires (unless someone else swoops in).

Adidas also owned CCM when they/Reebok had the jersey contract, and then sold CCM in 2017, and Reebok in 2021.
So I'm sure there were some synergies between what actual companies were manufacturing the jerseys.
I'm going to say something controversial, with good intention of changing it for the better in the future: hockey jerseys worn in public by grown adults look stupid
Reason:
people aren't wearing equipment under their jerseys and the things just drape there
Hope for change:
Slim jerseys more tapered to fit the average person
Anyway, my two cents. If lululemon were to get the contract certainly it would be perfect for actually getting something that fits right.
