I remember someone saying on here that the new Jets team should be called the SwampDonkeys (obviously a joke), however over here in England there's a youth team called the Sheffield SwampFrogs which is equally as bad, if not worse.
So it got me to thinking... what are the worst names you've ever come across/worst names ever used for a hockey team?

Hey what's so bad about the Manitoba SwampDonkeys? I know the most unoriginal name in hockey would have to be my hometown Peterborough Petes, for obvious reasons.

^^^
Agreed the Mighty Ducks was lame...
The name had Bettman all over it. A marketing gimmick by Disney named after a crappy kids movie with a horrible logo.
"Ducks" is still kinda lame but not even close to "Mighty Ducks".

You mean Betman didn't name the team, cause the lockouts on his own and put a hole in the ozone layer all on his own? Shocked!One name I've always found odd was the WHL's Kelowna Rockets, the name was carried over from their prior franchise the Tacoma Rockets, but Kelowna's logo is a gigantic sea monster based on a local legend called ogo pogo I think, I like the logo but change the name I mean when the name and logo have absolutely no relevance it just looks weird.

Great Thread. Gets the brain thinking.
Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL comes to mind.

Greenville Grrrowl. Pretty much 90% of the ECHL and/or Central Hockey League team names.
As for the NHL: Mighty Ducks, Whalers and, much to the disagreement of everyone else, Wild.

any "singular" team name (Ice, Wild, Cold, Extreme, Blaze, Fight etc etc...)
Minnesota Wild is my least favorite NHL name.
There is a local high school with the nickname "MVHS Pulamoo". I tried for years to find out what the hell is a Pulamoo. I never really got much of an answer...... some sort of fish I think?

Isn't that the name of some guy who plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers? |
