Because it rips off the local QMJHL team?

Already taken by a minor league hockey team.

Lewiston MAINEiacs

I wonder if it shouldn't have a similar theme to its parent club, such as Shamrocks, Brawlers, Leprechauns, Mean Green, etc.

I also wonder if the team doesn't do well if they just swing them down the coast to Providence, RI or inland to Manchester, NH or Worcester, MA

I thought I heard Lewiston was leaving after this season...?

Better dust off the Marinerzzz logo, Lee. You might have a buyer in the NBDL.

I'd like to see them update the script to something like the one in the concept iamthedorf did.

They are supposed to. Another team is coming in though, from the Maritime Junior A Hockey League.

Back on topic- This is very exciting news that I have been thinking about for a while now. I have been talking to one of the potential owners about it off and on and he seems very excited, but has never confirmed anything is imminent to me. I hope it goes through, if so I will do everything in my power to work for the team in some capacity. I have even given the owner some naming ideas, which I won't say on here in case they are considered. Can't ruin any surprises.

I just hope I can remove all those watermarks.

"Maine Coons" probably isn't an option.

[Drew22]

How could I forget the Marinerzz.

[footballfiji]

"Maine Coons" probably isn't an option.

Why would it be?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it would be because there's a species of animal from the region with that name.

But yea, that wouldn't be a very wise name...

Edit: Yep, it's a cat. Jesus, those things are huge.
