gameface Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Ex-Canucks GM Brian Burke and a group recently tried to move the Tri-City Americans to Chilliwack, in the Fraser Valley of BC. While the orginal move was kiboshed by the WHL owners, the group was awarded an expansion franchise provided they get rid of the Americans.My question is what do y'all think may be an appropriate name for the team? The BC Junior League currently has a team there called the Chiefs, so scratch that as a name despite the likelihood of that team now moving.For those unfamiliar with the area, Chilliwack is in the eastern end of the Fraser Valley known primarily for its glorious, sweet corn and smog from Vancouver. I remember Roger Clemente having a Corn jersey some time back.Any thoughts/ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottywazz Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I think they should name them the "Ers"....I think the Chiefs will move to New West or Squamish, but the Spokane Chiefs have the rights to the Chiefs name, so scratch that off the list. I would like to see the team called the smog so they can have a cloud raging with a hockey stick-- almost like Guelph's logo, but not as sharp.

Besides, what would you have as a mascot(s)? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogbarks55 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 How about the Colonels (kernels) or just call 'em the "Kernels." Their mascot could be a farmer in bib overalls on skates carrying a hockey stick with corn tassels on it. Sort of like Vancouver's old Johnny Canuck woodsman.GO LEAFS GO!

OMMF Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 It's the Bruins. Let the concepts begin.I woldn't mind seeing the hub and spoke with a C in the middle. That would be sharp but also very unoriginal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Not a fan of the name Bruins but Chilliwack makes me giggle!Just to try to confuse people I would have gone with the Chilliwack Americans. Even though Chilliwack(hehe! love to say that name) is not in the United States of America, it is in NORTH America.

If Tri-City had moved instead of Chilli getting an expansion franchise, I would have kept the name Americans, too. Just for humour value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
