I think there is a common denominator in the Cities and States that are littered with needles and feces but I cant quite put my finger on it

Meh....the Leafs love is too strong in the Barrie area. I think that there needs to be some sort of social separation or divide to have teams exist in close proximity. Some element that makes rivalry a tangible thing. Something that inspires fans to pick a side. I don't think that thing is strong enough in Barrie & Newmarket. In truth I really can't envision another team in Canada if it isn't in Quebec City. With perhaps an honourable mention to somewhere in the east coast because they don't think much of "mainlanders". But population density could be tricky out there.

People would jump ship real fast if their own city got an NHL team. Barrie wouldn't need millions of diehard fans, just enough fans that hate the Leafs and people who love hockey.. Growing up in the Bay i went to like 20 NHL games in Ottawa and 4 games in Toronto. People will travel, and if they get to cut and hour off their commute by not having to drive DT TO all the more reason.. Make ticket prices comparable to Ottawa and make it a fun atmosphere..

Their symbol can be the Antifa flag and their pregame rituals can be throwing temper tantrums

Seattle poopHawks.

I kinda like Kraken though. Before every game you can hear the sound and someone say "Release the Kraken!" Also we would have another team that doesn't end in an s.

Not Totems. Way to much temptation to run roughshod over the sacred traditions of marginalized people.
- bodiva88

That, and totem poles aren't actually from the Seattle area:

- Jere

If their logo is a rooster id support it..

The Seattle Sound, or Grunge would be the only two options here.. And my guess is that there are a lot rednecks in the area who wouldn't approve..

My guesses would be; Kraken, Sockeyes, Grunge, Sasquatch....

Best Seattle band is Citizen D!ck.

They are huge in Europe right now. I mean, they've got records... uh, a big record just broke in Belgium.

So would it be the Seattle D!ck or should it be plural?
Either way it'd be an interesting logo on the ice.

And the players would hate playing in uniforms made from flannel.

Seattle Metropolitans (they'll have a cup to their name already)

Mike Gillis as GM, wager to see him in the same div as the canucks
and Joel Quennville the coach.

This is the southern Ontario snag, and what MLSE doesn't want to give up. Cut gate prices by 50% or MORE in most cases is a lot off the bottom line. Don't they own and run the concessions too? They have every person in attendance coming and going.

Still too many old farts in the league who won't quite grasp what Grunge is.
