The Seattle Sea Hawks (sometimes written as Seattle Seahawks) were a minor professional hockey team based in Seattle, Washington, playing at the Civic Ice Arena. The Sea Hawks began as a founding member of the North West Hockey League, playing in that league for its three-season existence from 1933 to 1936, before joining the second iteration of the Pacific Coast Hockey League until 1941.[1][2] They were the NWHL champions in 1935–36.[2] For their final season in 1940–41, the team was sold to new ownership and renamed the Seattle Olympics.
