risio Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Penguins arent called the Penguins because of PENsylvania. The owner's wife at the time named them the Penguins because they play at the Civic Arena, now the Mellon, which Pittsburghers call the Igloo, because of its Igloo shape. Once I saw that, I realized you must have filled in some serious gaps on your cute little list, making most of it false and a waste of my time for reading it. Im dissapointed.

Webhamster Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Winnipeg Jets Then owner Ben Hatskin asked his pal Sonny Werblin, then owner of the National Football League's New York Jets, for permission.While that part may well be true, I remember reading that the inspiration for the name was Winnipeg's signing of "The Golden Jet" away from the NHL.

RaoulDuke Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 wouldn't the Red Wings team have an advantage over teams like Atlanta who don't have their new jerseys out? New streamlined jerseys against old baggy jerseys. Only a 9% advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Here's the true answer to how the Kings got their name and this is from the LA Kings website:Cooke, a Canadian-born entrepreneur who made most of his fortune in various media investments, was driven to bring the sport he loved to the town where he already owned the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. Wanting his new hockey club to take on an air of royalty, Cooke named his team the ?Kings? and was part of six new teams that would double the size of the NHL from the ?Original Six? franchises to 12 teams, starting with the 1967-68 season.

He bought an expansion WHL team named them the Bruins and gave them the exact same colour scheme as the Anaheim Ducks.The Bruins name may have something to do with Boston, but I think it has more to do with Chilliwack attempting to draw a connection with the New Westminster Bruins.<Blah blah blah>Source: Les Canadiens Magazine, Magazine #6: 1991-92 Season Postings on the Internet Newsgroup rec.sport.hockey Various history sections on official team sites.Was there a reason for posting this?

He bought an expansion WHL team named them the Bruins and gave them the exact same colour scheme as the Anaheim Ducks.The Bruins name may have something to do with Boston, but I think it has more to do with Chilliwack attempting to draw a connection with the New Westminster Bruins.<*snip*>Boston Bruins Businessman Charles Adams wanted his new franchise to have brown and yellow team colors to match his stores as well as a name equated with strength and power. A fan named the team in a contest. <*snip*>Source: Les Canadiens Magazine, Magazine #6: 1991-92 Season Postings on the Internet Newsgroup rec.sport.hockey Various history sections on official team sites.I'm not entirely certain what anything in this post has to do with:1. this thread.2. the Chilliwack Bruins of the WHL.Also, I'm pretty certain Winnipeg took the name Jets as they were the birthplace of the Avro Arrow and are still the hub of Canadian Aeronautics. I don't think just being buddies with the owner of the NFL's New York Jets has anything to do with it. Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
