Name the Stockton AHL team
http://www.stocktonthunder.com/ahlname/
Quote:
The Stockton Thunder, owned by the Calgary Flames, announce that fans can begin to submit their names for the Stockton American Hockey League franchise set to start play in Fall 2015. Fans can submit their choices for what the name of the AHL team should be at Thunder home games with a form that can be found at the Thunder Information Booth, or can submit online at StocktonThunder.com/AHLname.
“This contest is going to be a fun way for fans to get involved and voice their opinions on what Stockton’s new hockey team should be named,” Team President Dave Piecuch said. “We look forward to hearing from the community and identifying an exciting team name that our loyal fans can be proud to call their own as we make the transition to the AHL.”
One grand prize winner of the chosen name will receive a pair of season tickets for the 2015-16 season. There will be 10 additional winners of a pair of tickets to the AHL Home Opener in October 2015.

They should just keep the Thunder name to take advantage of all that built up equity.

I think the answer is obvious. Keep the team name as the Thunder, but rename the arena.
Stockton Thunder + Calgary affiliate = The ThunderDome.

Jokes aside, it's actually a really good name. Someone should submit it.

I liked that Grizzlies name that was apparently trademarked.

Stockton Earthquakes. Change the arena name to The Epicenter. Hire Mike Richter as goalie coach.

During its early years, Stockton was known by several names, including "Tuleburg", "Fat City," and "Mudville". Weber decided on "Stockton" in honor of Commodore Robert F. Stockton. Stockton was the first community in California to have a name that was neither Spanish nor Native American origin.

Or the Stockton Mudvilles. That would be awesome.

I bet they'd sell a lot of jerseys if they just called themselves the Stockton 209 or Stockton 209ers.
