The Owls name was carried by multiple short-run International Hockey League (IHL) franchises across the Midwest in the 1970s and 1980s — the Columbus Owls, Dayton Owls, and Grand Rapids Owls each played in the league at different points, often as relocated or rebranded versions of one another. The shared name and similar visual identities make the Owls one of the most distinctive families of small-market IHL hockey of the era.

Each of the Owls franchises played at the IHL's secondary-tier level, contributing to the league's broader Midwestern hockey ecosystem before eventually folding or relocating. The Owls jersey design — built around the bird-of-prey identity — has become one of the most collected pieces of obscure 1970s-80s minor pro hockey apparel.
