From Greg Caggiano at the Bleacher Report:
I was browsing a forum and saw a thread titled “Swastika’s On Ice” and I said to myself, “Oh no! Do I even want to open up this thread? What on earth could it possibly be about?”
I opened it and found a black and white photograph of eight women in ice skates holding hockey sticks.
It turns out that the picture is one of the earliest known photographs of a women’s ice hockey team that played in Edmonton. And their name? Yes, you guessed it: the Swastikas.

Not a complete oddity however. Fernie and Windsor had mens teams by the same name with swastika logos.
