The Winnipeg Falcons formed because of discrimination against the Icelandic community in Winnipeg. The players served Canada in the First World War, with two giving their lives, and then came home to become champions. They became heroes to Canadians when they won the first gold in hockey at the Olympics. ORDER MY FIRST HISTORY BOOK!
