Two days ago, during a local broadcast on ESPN of the 2016 World Cup of
Hockey I saw a very particular flag for Sweden. It is a horizontal yellow flag
featuring three stylized blue crowns of the coat of arms of the country. The
flag is seen here:

When doing a little research, I found out
that it is the flag (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_men%27s_national_ice_hockey_team)
of "Sweden men's national ice hockey team (Sveriges herrlandslag i ishockey, in
Swedish) or "Tre Kronor" (Three Crowns in Swedish). The team is managed by the
Swedish Ice Hockey Association (SIHA, Svenska Ishockeyf�rbundet, in Swedish)
However, in the picture mentioned above, this particular version features
the logo (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/58/World_Cup_of_Hockey_2016_small_logo.png)
of the WCH2016.
Here's a brief history (PDF format):
