Did some sleuthing on Canadian patent search and noticed both "Cowboys" and "Wranglers" have been recently renewed by CSEC (Cowboys at the end of May). "Wranglers" still has an open claim by the Wrangler clothing manufacturer, but the Dallas Cowboys have settled, and are okay with other usages as long as CSEC doesn't use the name for a football team (say the Arena League).
Centennials, Wranglers and Cowboys were all used by the Hitmen for their Corral Series of a few years ago. Of course now, there is no more Corral. We'll see if there's another promotion, but my guess is that the new AHL team will take a page from the city's past and call themselves the Cowboys in homage.
No other Calgary hockey team names have recently been registered (Inferno is still kicking around though).
Of course I could be out-to-lunch, as I often am.
