Took the kids to the waterpark and saw this. Bert and Ernie have good taste in hockey teams. LGRW!

There is an cycling connection with the name and logo: [In 1932, the NHL let grain merchant James E. Norris, who had made two previous unsuccessful bids to buy an NHL team, purchase the Falcons. Norris’ first act was to rename the team; earlier in the century, Norris had been a member of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (MAAA), a multi-sport club whose winged-wheel emblem derived from its cycling roots, and whose hockey team won the first Stanley Cup in 1893. Norris decided that a red version of the MAAA “Winged Wheelers” logo would be perfect for a team playing in the “Motor City”, and on October 5, 1932, the club was renamed the Detroit Red Wings.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Red_Wings)
What I find interesting is that they completely avoided this logo when this was made.
