Congrats on the most racist logo in hockey, Lake Erie

The Lake Erie Warriors are a team in the new National College Prospects Hockey League, a Tier II junior league associated with the Western States Hockey League, which begins play this fall.

5. It’s 2016, and it features a red-skinned Native American mascot as a howling Mohawk’d savage.

6. The tattoo on his face looks like he’s wearing a telemarketing headset.

7. IT’S 2016 AND IT FEATURES A RED-SKINNED NATIVE AMERICAN MASOCT AS A HOWLING MOHAWK’D SAVAGE!!!

All that said, it’s great to see Dan Snyder backing a franchise in the National College Prospects Hockey League, based on the evidence.

Here’s more about the team:
