Hockey Quiz No. 1

So, think you're pretty smart, don't you?

Well, then, why don't you try these out.

You can even leave your answers in a comment.

Name this logo

As is usually the case, any time I have the slightest inkling that I might slip something past you, one of Hound Central 3.0's most faithful readers humbles me.

Let's see how long it takes before he nails this one, too.

The answers for the last quiz are below.
