Welcome to The Hockey News' Ultimate Logo Rankings and Tournament.
Over the course of the next two months, we will first lay out our rankings of every notable league in North America, then let you vote on your favorites.
From your league votes, a tournament will be spawned. An event which will pit 40 teams from every league against each other, regardless of home attendance, winning record or prominence.
Below you will find links to our league rankings and below that links to each stage of the tournament.
