Disagree, an appropriate name would have been "The Seamen."

"The PEI Seamen"

They should've called them the Lobsters.

for those wondering, (because I was and had to google it) this is a team name change for Charlottetown’s Prince Edward Island Rocket of the QMJHL,they will re-brand as the PEI Islanders for the 2013-14 season
