Well if he played that well for KooKoo then who are we to complain?

Can we buy that team and rename them the 'KooKoo Flames?'

The mascot and jersey opportunities and marketing write themselves.

Some media insider was suggesting that the Flames weren't going to be able to sign him. This makes me happy. Craig gets prospects and gets them locked up. Good job.

Hm. I suppose we couldnt use a cereal eating bird, that would probably be some sort of copyright infringement.

"KooKoo for Hockey!!!"

General Mills is notoriously litigious.

Flames could've had Jurmo at #80 instead of Jake Boltmann. (Jurmo went #82).

When you have the chance to draft a guy who couldn't score in high school in the third round, you gotta do it.

I only have one question.

Is KooKoo pronounced with a hard "K" sound, or is it "ShooShoo" like with Kylington's name?

Morin is a March birthday, so he won't be AHL eligible yet. One more year in Moncton.

Kylington is Swedish, which is apparently quite different from Finnish. Supposedly, the language that is most closely related to Finnish is Hungarian.


Based on this catchy tune, it's pronounced like "coco".

Oh Lord...could you imagine?

The KooKoo Flames!

For a jersey crest we give Scorch a Flames-themed hat from the Simpsons' Capital City Goofball?

And arm him with a T-shirt cannon that shoots Cocoa Puffs. Nobody would see that coming. The children would love it!

The possibilities are endless!

"Locke...you should have gone into Marketing...except no one would buy your ideas because they appear to be clinically insane to the point of skirting 'possibly illegal.'"

Oh the World is so lucky I dont have 'Bezos or Musk money.'

Or perhaps the World is missing out...
