I know I have bitched about this before and I promise it'll be the last time, but I simply don't understand that at all. Why not keep the Stockton Thunder, a brand that has worked very well there for many many years? Just seems like a FU to the local people to take that name away from them and move it across the country to a community that has no connection to "Thunder" at all.
Calgary Flames
Stockton Thunder
Adirondack Scorch
would have been perfect
