HARTFORD, Conn. — The Hartford Whalers left Connecticut 20 years ago, but their beloved logo will now appear on vehicles gliding along the state’s highways. The Department of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday unveiled a new commemorative license plate that bears the former professional hockey team’s green-and-blue insignia. “It was two decades ago that we lost on the Whalers, but in our hearts we have not. Vail credited the work of the team’s still-active booster club, which first proposed the idea about two-and-a-half years ago. “They’re part of our present and they will be part of our future with this ongoing cause and other things.”
