Classic Team Logo of The Day

21 Mar

Logo of the Minnesota North Stars, who played in the National Hockey League from 1967 until moving to Dallas in 1993. This logo was used from the team’s inception in ’67, when they joined the NHL along with 5 other expansion teams, (doubling the league’s size from 6 teams, known as the “original six”, to twelve), until 1974. The team’s notable players in their early years include goalies Gump Worsley and Cesare Maniago, Bill Goldsworthy, Ted Harris, Danny Grant, Lou Nanne (who later served as the team’s GM), Jude Drouin and Bill Masterton, who unfortunately is the only player in NHL history to die from an on-ice injury. During a game against the California Seals in 1968, he fell backwards while skating, hitting his head on the ice, and never regained consciousness, dying 2 days later of a “massive brain injury”.
