Logo of the current Stanley Cup champions of the National Hockey League, the Chicago Black Hawks. This logo was in use from 1937 until 1955. The Hawks joined the NHL in 1926 as part of the league’s original expansion into the United States, and are considered one of the “original six” teams. The “Black Hawk” name is in honor of the military division that their original owner, Frederic McLaughlin, commanded during World War I. That “Black Hawk” division got its’ nickname from Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk Nation, a prominent Native American figure in Illinois history. The 1938 BlackHawks won the Stanley Cup, but hold the distinction of being the team having the poorest regular season record to win the Cup – they won 14 games and lost 25 that season.
