Classic Team Logo of The Day

19 Oct

Logo of the World Hockey Association Cleveland Crusaders, who played in the league from 1972 until 1976. The team’s most notable player was goaltender Gerry Cheevers, signed away from the NHL’s Boston Bruins. Their fate was sealed when the NHL California Golden Seals relocated to Cleveland and became the Barons. Unable to compete with the NHL, the franchise moved to Minneapolis and became the Minnesota Fighting Saints. The Crusaders’ top scorer in their four year history was Gary Jarrett, and another of their memorable players was Paul Shmyr, who had an appropriate last name considering that he racked up 538 penalty minutes in the team’s four years.
