"Like any Icelander over the last number of years, [I feel] very proud of what the team was able to accomplish," said Steve Perkins, grandson of the Falcons' Haldor (Slim) Halderson. This is the story of the Winnipeg Falcons, the world's first Olympic Hockey champions. “But my [position] was that they get 1,000 people a year, and the Hockey Hall of Fame gets more than 1,000 a day, so that’s why I put the jersey in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.”Their efforts, combined with a public outcry from others familiar with the Falcons’ story, eventually convinced Hockey Canada of its mistake.“It wasn’t easy for them,” Johnson said. The Falcons returned home to wild applause in Parliament, in the media, and in the streets of their home town of Winnipeg. The Falcons are unique among Olympic hockey teams: not only were they the first champions, but because their descendants, almost all of Icelandic heritage, still unite to form a common front whenever the reputations of their fathers, grandfathers, uncles or great-uncles are threatened.

The champions of the two leagues met in the provincial championship playoffs in 1920, and the Falcons proved their quality by defeating the Winnipegs 5-0 and 10-1. In a show of sportsmanship, the Falcons gave their sticks to the Swedish team as a memento. The Falcon Athletic Association resumed activities in 1928 and the Falcons Hockey Club was revived in 1932, but finally merged with the Rangers in 1938.After demobilization, the Falcons reassembled.
