As you know, the Flames will be moving out of Adirondack to Stockton for the upcoming 2015-2016 season, and they are currently looking for a new team name!

I say we all hijack this site and vote for the team name to be the Stockton Scorch.

Anything but the "Flames". Hated seeing "Flames vs. ...." while browsing the forums. I am easily confused though, so... there's that.

"Scorch" is good though.

Works for me... even without the lulz from the mascot it's actually a decent name. Alliteration + keeps the fire motif... nothin' to dislike about the name.

I didn't mind it for Adirondack, mostly 'cause the Flaming A makes for a sharp jersey.

I think the new team should either be named the Stockton Stopgap because in all likelihood they won't last there more than 24 months, if the Flames track record over the last 10 years of AHL franchises tells us anything.

Or perhaps the Stockton Fugitives since the AHL franchise always seems to be on the run.

If you want to go that route, how about the Stockton Nomads?

It's almost fitting for an AHL team as the players are usually in transit or bouncing between the AHL and NHL.

How about the Stockton, Johns



The old Roughnecks mascot can put on some short shorts?

Almost seems like they picked a name according to icethetics. http://www.icethetics.co/blog/2015/2...-domino-effect

THINGS TO KNOW · If you're curious where they're leaning, the Flames recently filed trademark applications for two names — Stockton Grizzlies and Adirondack Thunder. Neither is particularly creative, but hopefully that contest will save the day in Stockton.
