A lot of the CHL team names or even cities are weird, especially the WHL with the English versions of Native words and the Q being aggressively French.

From what I've learned here, they have to. The NBA primary logos have to have the city name and team name in it. Which is probably why so many teams don't use the primary logos a lot. The (now old) Wizards logo and Pacers logo were grandfathered in.

regardless of the "O" or the "C" all I ever see if a fish head on an ice cream cone in front of a watermelon. I can only imagine the amount of acid the artist who rendered that was on for it to look like a "seal" to him. Same amount of acid that led to creating this; So I'm wagering not a lot.

It might just be a cost thing. It's probably cheaper to order black helmets in bulk than specially make green ones. It could also be they're a new team and couldn't get green in on time.

Like this but a goat.

This is my favorite part of the article. "Isn't that keen? A new hockey team in Las Vegas! Pry your father away from the slots and forget about Penn and Teller. Hockey in Las Vegas? That's so unique we just have to check it out. The Johnson clan from Branson, Missouri are in Las Vegas to have fun!"

Ohhh baby. Here we go Las Vegas! http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/nhl-to-las-vegas-looking-more-like-a-done-deal/article23471555/

Add the fact it's against Ottawa on a weeknight, might have had less people racing home after work.

I'm getting ads on the top of the mobile site underneath the bar with the title and menu button, when I never have before.

No way the WHL will take Alaska. Just the logistics of travel is enough to keep them out.

Saskatoon is hard to get to by plane outside of coming from the major Canadian markets.

Is that before or after Twangle the 12th?

Since 1993, they've had 6 teams.

Where did you hear that? That is so much worse than what the Flames have now. Stockton was a city posted earlier in this thread for the Flames and that makes sense with the proposed West AHL.

The Prairies can get extremely freaking cold during the winter, especially in Winnipeg. It's also because they can't get a date set.

To clarify I guess, the Flames let the Hitmen run themselves as a team for the most part, outside of some bureaucratic Flames Organization sponsored events. So the "retirement" and raising a banner was all on the Hitmen.But it would be weird to see yourself in the rafters of another team's arena. Right, that's what I meant. You're not going to have that just about anywhere else. And not just your name/number, but a picture of young you. A picture of you with hair.... and the occasional frosted tips.

The Flames got the Hitmen (and Roughnecks last year) wrapped into the "Forever A ..." because the Hitmen "retired" Getzlaf today. Even though the Hitmen, like the Flames, had already retired a number.

It was near the start. I was also reading that the Ducks locked some people out because they weren't able to buy single game tickets for it early on in the season, it had to be part of a flex/mini-pack thing IIRC.

Thanks.

Might be a weird question, but does anybody have the Maple Leafs sock stripe template? I'm having some trouble getting the sizing correct.

I like simple, colour and style coordinated ones like the Oilers and the Ducks. All the same style and the different coloured banners represent different championships. Don't change the logo and colours of the older banners, sure you can change the template to match the others, but keep the correct logos and colours. Scott Brower(?) and the the 1996-97 Eastern Division Champions were in the old logos, not the current one and they never were a part of the current set of logos. It's the same with the Ducks and the Mighty Ducks banner. If the Ducks were to retire old Mighty Ducks players, I would want them retired in Mighty Ducks style because they never wore current Ducks jerseys.

It won't let me send a message. Says there's a problem with array, whatever that means.

It's very likely nothing though but I thought of you Admiral after. I'm not going to bother with it because I don't know everything.
