Rolling your 'r's when you order a burrito does not make you cultured. I try to get my French Canadian place names as close as I can. I'm not gonna get caught saying Montry-All and Kwuh-Beck. The French Canadian branch of my family tree came down from Trois-Rivieres, which sorta forces the issue. How do I not say that Frenchly? "Three Rivers"? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Three Rivers"? My family is straight out of Montreal and I have a super French-Canadien last name but I pronouce it the English way. However, even when I introduce myself to people they still say my name the French way, I'd say close to 95% of my students pronounce it the French way even when they ask how I pronounce it.

If they really wanted to troll us, instead of just HC, they could use the IHC--the ice hockey equivalent of association football's AFC.

(Tampa Bay Nine was apparently one of the options considered when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were working on their rebrand. It was owner Stuart Sternberg's personal favorite before they settled on Tampa Bay Rays.) Furthering the argument for "Six" as an ice hockey team's nickname is the fact that Indianapolis has a professional men's soccer team known as Indy Eleven (with, it seems, no "the" in that name). With that in mind, the presence of the word "Kickers" in the names of some soccer teams (mostly in Germany, with the United States a close second) has me wondering if an NHL team in Seattle or elsewhere could get by with "Shooters" as a nickname.

Soccer's club naming conventions are very different than hockey's, so an abstract name like that would never be accepted. Besides, when people speak about the number of guys on the ice they generally don't count the goalie, so six wouldn't even make sense (i.e. "five-on-five" at even strength, "five-on-three" when one team has a two man advantage, "six-on-five" when a goalie is pulled). And considering the culture around gun violence in North America, particularly in the States, there's no way a team would ever name themselves the Shooters. There's a reason Washington's NBA team changed from Bullets to Wizards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenaciousG Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Here’s an interesting little picture from the team’s transit story on NHL.com. Obviously a (edit: Bruins) jersey but NHL Seattle has previously centered on black and red for most marketing materials... and yet here are green and gold sweaters. Could just be a nod to the Sonics/Storm, or maybe our first indicator of a change in colors?

(Thunderbears might sounds better, but I don't think if anyone in Seattle would wants to have a team with Thunder in name). BTW last kid wear something that look like 1979-1984 Blues away sweater.
