Outside of the NHL. Why not rip-off the logo of Jokerit Helsinki - Adelaide Jokers
I'm not surprised to see this. Jokerit has easily the most iconic logo out of all non-NHL clubs.

One spanish team had similiar logo to Caps eagle (?) in fly from 90-s.From 1995-1996 on, this was the alternate logo of the Washington Capitals:

(Later it would become the main logo from 2002-2003 to 2006-2007.)
In Germany, a club called Preussen Berlin went through financial troubles and a few renamings in the mid-1990s. In July 1996, the organization was rebranded as the Berlin Capitals. The logo they came up with:

Not exactly a copy, but it's obvious that they had the Washington alternate logo in front of them when they "created" this one. The elements are the same (puck, stars, a central nameplate) with slight variations (one stick instead of two, the way the star band and the puck form an almost-line balances out the missing stick; the Capitol building was replaced by a globe).

the following Luleå bear logo was the standard until a couple of seasons ago when they went back to the original logo from the 70s as the main one. I still like it, I grew up with it and as a kid I was proud of my team having a really cool looking, “modern” logo. It’s also quite well thought out, in my opinion, with the “fire” actually symbolizing the Northern lights and the snowflakes putting an extra emphasis on just how freakishly far north we’re from.
KHL Teams do it with jerseys too
Very much in-your-face. You'd expect that from the 1960s or 1970s when there was less global exposure, but nowadays? How is this not copyright infringement?
Rögle BK would like to join the party:Gornyak Uchaly in the VHL a few years ago. Now, they have a different logo
It's well known that the Montreal Canadiens were probably the NHL team most adored and idolized by European hockey followers in the 1960s and 1970s. However, I wasn't aware that some European clubs went as far as even wearing 'Canadiens jerseys' (very similiar to what the NHL Canadiens wore) during that time. Photos I have stumbled across recently show that HC La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland) and Sibir Novosibirsk (Soviet Union) actually used such jerseys as their regulars.
1) HC La Chaux-de-Fonds
Located in the francophone part of Switzerland, similiar to the Canadiens in Quebec. It was easy to connect the name La Chaux-de-Fonds with the CH logo of the Montreal Canadiens.

Good one. Germany is one of the European countries that has gone full North America from the mid-1990s on.
