Could you upload that picture?

In answer to the question you asked, the Winnipeg Winnipegs/Rangers thing could possibly be the way the team was referred to in the media or possibly even that the team may have been sponsored by a local business or fraternal group. Back then many teams did not have a formal nickname and identifiers like Hockey Club or pluralizing the team's home community was common. The team played the first half of the playing season in a league based out of Thunder Bay and the Winnipegs may have been enough of an identifier for the team. I know Hockey Canada tries not to use sponsor names in the name of teams for Junior A and U18 competitions if at all possible. The Winnipeg Rangers Athletic Club Junior team looks like it wasn't formed until 1934 out of a dispute between several colleges that merged to form the University of Manitoba.

Fanofpucks hasn't been on the website for several years so I figured you would want someone to get back to you.
