The logo of an old World Hockey Association team, the Calgary Cowboys. The WHA was formed to compete with the NHL, and had all kinds of financial problems, and this franchise was the poster child for the league’s troubles. It began as the Miami Screaming Eagles in 1972 but never played a game in Miami. They were moved to Philadelphia and played one unsuccessful season as the Philadelphia Blazers, then moved to Vancouver for a year before relocating to Calgary. They lasted 2 seasons in Calgary before folding. Their legacy in Calgary? One of the worst hockey brawls of all time took place in a playoff series between the Cowboys and Quebec Nordiques. The brawl resulted in 11 players being ejected from the game, Calgary coach Joe Crozier suspended for the entire series and criminal charges being filed in a Quebec court.
