The Evansville hockey team originally had a polar bear in their logo - which didn't really make any sense (unless it's meant to be a Were-Bear?), plus it turned out to be plagiarized. So they did what anyone sensible would do and switched it to a yeti.
Problem solved, right? But the fans didn't like it apparently - so they switched it right away to an angry Eskimo. Does that make any sense? Why not just make another yeti? Maybe fans just didn't like the tusks. Looks a little too much like Chewbacca's dad Itchy from the Star Wars Holiday Special. Toss the tusks and throw some eyes in there and I think the fans would have approved.
Bruce Cooke made this one for his friends who have a team. Kudos regarding the puck with a skull on it. I've always maintained that yetis go well with skulls.
This Brampton team may just be taking it sort of literally - using a man made out of ice. But I say it's yeti. I mean, what is a yeti really but a man made out of ice?
And this one's not a team but a hockey school. Counts.
Here are a couple more.

The Seera icemen logo is just a rip off of the Kootenay Ice logo - http://www.kootenayice.net/. The Ice are a WHL team in Canada. Their mascot's name is Shivers - a Yeti.
Thanks for the info, Anonymous. Glad to have the original Kootenay logo to include with this post.
