Not a great name to build cheers around though.
A teams needs a one or two syllable name or nickname the fans can fit into a "GO ______ GO" or "LET'S GO ___-____" structure like "Go Flames Go!" or "Let's Go Oi-lers!" (Oilers suck!).
The easiest way is usually just to use a variation of the first or last syllable of the name, like how Avalanche gets shortened to Avs or Hurricanes gets shortened to Canes.
Mountaineers doesn't really have an obvious way to shorten it: "Mounts", "Neers", "Eers"... None of those work.
