I think the whole team photo can't compete with these wonderful pictures: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4117732/Adolf-Hitlers-absurd-pose-in-shorts.html
Hate to be a symbol nazi, but nazis used 45° svastika, so that might be Finnish team, since Finland used that version. Pure guess, but that might be Lotta Svärd -organisation's hockey team. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotta_Sv%C3%A4rd)
There were lots of pre-War II sports teams that used a swastika as their logo. It was only after Hitler perverted the symbol that it became an icon of hate.
These are Canadian teams from the early 1900's, where the.teams not only wore the symbol but also called themselves "Swastikas"; as in Edmonton Swastikas. Hitler admired them so mush he created a Nazi empire in their honor. Ha, as if. But the Canadian hockey team thing is true.
The ones in the dark (red) sweaters are from Fernie, B.C., but yes, the ones in the light sweaters are our 1916 Edmonton Swastikas. Yes, Hitler stole our emblem. We didn't say anything at the time, but in December 1943, The Loyal Edmonton Regiment took Ortona, Italy from the Germans.
Let's just say that when it comes to hockey, we can hold a grudge for a long time.

Genocidal bitches?
Well sure.
But still you have to admire the talent that went into knitting those sweaters.

Or not.
I dont want to know what (whose) material the puck was made from.
Of course, the swastika was not used by the Nazis first. And these women were likely not Nazis.
Finns makes sense. Yes, I KNOW these aren't Nazi female ice hockey players (Hitler wasn't that progressive, even for a socialist).
The swastika was a popular symbol of good luck in the early 20th Century, before it was Godwinned:

Tasty-looking bait, CR ;)
I'd love to get my freak on with these sexy Reich-maidens

Don't you have a wife, you asshole?
What a boring and dull lot, no 'sturm und drang,' no 'vernichtungsgedanke.'
The same goes for the photographer... where was Leni, when they needed her?
