I like the RebBlacks. It sounds like an old rugby team name.

When the best your creative department can do is “Roughriders” but with a space, Redblacks is probably as good as it’s going to get.

The Rough Riders predated the Roughriders by a quarter century (1898 vs. 1924).

Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia has his sights set on bringing hockey back to Arizona, Sportico reported Wednesday.
Arizona is now without an NHL team after the Coyotes relocated to Salt Lake City following the 2023-24 campaign. The franchise will have a new name come the 2025-26 season, but when it plays games this year, it will be known as the Utah Hockey Club.
"I'm definitely going to be part of the community, and if I can help bring hockey back, I'll look at that," Ishbia told Sportico. "It's definitely something I'm interested in. It's a four-sport town. I'm disappointed we don't have a hockey team, but I understand what happened, and we're going to try to fix that one day."

If someone steps up now to bring a team back, that just shows even further how utterly insufferable Meruelo was/is and how literally nobody wants the guy's business.

We'll never hear from Meruelo again, this is the path to the NHL returning to Phoenix.

Didn't Ishbia reject overtures from Meruelo to team up and share his building?

What is Ishbia's reputation like?
It would be so funny if this actually got done quickly now that what's his face is out of the way.

Still early but he does the things he says and put his money where his mouth is. He built a state of the art Corporate HQ downtown Phoenix/WNBA facility in less than a year. He has made great partnerships locally already and is no doubt a community focused owner
Local media @craigsmorgan believe there's 2-3 parties interested but I don't see a separate group/nhl only building ever happening. Suns/Phoenix venture or nothing.

The hit men make total sense. Also Hitman regardless of the association with Brett hart is cool . Like a group of assassinations like assassin's creed or John wick.
Believe it or not the WWE is one of the most popular "Sports "in the world . Yes it is staged but it is very athletic. It trained all the top guys and girls in the prime years.
The hart house was is such a note of importance to Calgary when the City considered it for demolition, they made it a heritage site and paid to have it renoed.
Even tho the Hart family were not in top rated sports Stu and his Family were proud Canadians and in each era of the wwf and WWE were Uber popular in pop culture they put Calgary on the map in alot of ways and brought stability to having a Whl team in Calgary . Before the Hart's Calgary struggled to maintain a whl team the had the centenials ( ultimately turned to the Tri city Americans since 1988, then the wranglers ( now the Lethbridge Hurricanes )since 1987.
Having the Hart's associated with the team led the Flames to purchase the team as the Hart's popularity in 1997 were through the roof and the team was prospering in attendance and popularity.
The teams name makes perfect sense and pays omage the the history to one of the most known citizens .
Again the name Hitman is just badass.

I have no experience or information, but I agree. Once people bond as fans with a hockey team? Or any sports team. You cant just change the name.
Thats the team they love. Thats the team they bonded with.
So...I think you're right.
