Logo of the World Hockey Association’s Minnesota Fighting Saints, in their reincarnated version in the league. The story goes like this – the original Fighting Saints, using this exact logo but in gold and blue colors, were a charter member of the league, competing from 1972 until February of 1976 when they ceased operations because of financial struggles before the season ended. Then the following season, the Cleveland Crusaders WHA franchise moved to Minnesota, became the Fighting Saints again, and used the logo above with the red and gold color scheme. Unfortunately, they also folded before even completing the 1977 season. A couple of notable former Fighting Saints are Dave Keon and Paul Holmgren. Also, in the 1974 WHA playoffs, the Saints employed a guy named Goldie Goldthorpe, who had no points and 25 penalty minutes in 3 games. The 1977 movie Slap Shot, starring Paul Newman, featured a wild player named Ogie Oglethorpe, based on Goldthorpe.
