Given the way the Ams fans are feeling right now about Porter and his crew, Pirates or Buccaneers might be appropriate names for the Chilliwack team. But perhaps you have a better suggestion. I'd love to hear what folks would suggest for the Chilliwack team name, and why.

This a total joke, hopefully noone is offended. The team should be the beans becuase they have chili in the name.

How can you call the owners greedy? They were losing money, not making any profit at all, and had a very small fanbase, that they could not increase no matter what they tried. They are doing what is best for the team, and themselves... Can't blame them for wanting to make a profit with their investment.

i was just saying a name that came off the top of my head. The owners have lost money from previous profit margins, but are they actually in the red for real? as in paying out of pocket to run the bus around! Newer marketing strategies do help, they just have to be more open minded, its a terrible thing to move a team from a good fan base, before new coaching and management are tried, They will have to create a winning team for fans to support in any market they play in. or it will be the same story over again. thats all i meant

Bottom line, management must get with the program no matter where they go. If a real effort had been made in Tri, things would be different. In the Hat it was only the really dedicated, (or really stupid) that came out game after game in the lean years.

Chilliwack is going to have to draw from the whole area, not just the City of Chilliwack.

How about the Fraser Valley Falcons :confused:

How about the Fraser Valley Falcons :confused: Chilliwack has a lot of people to draw from. Less than a half an hour away from Chilliwack, there's Abbotsford, a city with more than 100, 000 people. They'll be fine.

I agree CF. I re-read my post and I guess I worded it wrong.

Chilliwack will be an excellent market in the WHL but I was trying to say, make the area buy into the team, not just the city. Let the fans in Abbotsford and Hope and the whole valley take ownership in it, much like all the fans in Saskatchewan take ownership in the Riders, or the fans in BC with the Lions.

You can never have too many supporters.

Whatever you pick, don't take a name that's already in use in the Q or the O. It's always bugged me that there's two Rockets and two Tigers in the CHL.

Well, you got almost every AJHL team name in there (It's Grizzlys, BTW) ;)

But you left out the Chilliwack Oilers, Chilliwack Crusaders, Chilliwack Saints (hah!), etc. ;)

Chilliwack Chilliwackians?

Please excuse my lack of knowledge with Chilliwack and the surrounding area, but is it known for anything? Maybe something really special in the area? For example, St. John's Fog Devils (re: the fog in Newfoundland).

How about the Can-Americans? :laugh: not sure if that would work out at all.

I agree with OHLArenaGuide, I hope its not a name that is already in use
(in the CHL).

How about Chilliwack Pack? Or Chilliwack Wankers...imagine the logo.

For the carnival fans out there Chilliwack A-Moles.

Of course if they expect to be successful maybe the Chilliwack Lemmings

For you posters that have never drove through Chilliwack on the Trans Canada, even with the windows closed it smells really bad.
