LOL!

Well, I decided to check out StocktonScorch.com ... it's exactly what you'd expect.

Disappointing it's just the Heat again, Scorch could have been great.

Heat is not a bad name. Especially since the parent club is Flames.

Scorch is so mickey mouse. Although having the Mascot Scorch is cool.

The Flames took ownership of stocktonheat.com on Feb 25. Day after the 5 finalists were announced.

IIRC the cyber squatter was asking for $500.00 for stocktonheat.com

In general all sports name should end with an S, can't think of too many good ones that don't.

I really hope they get creative with the uniforms and don't just copy the Flames template...

Heat is a terrible name too.

Still think it should have been the Stockton Stabbers . Jersey is a hockey stick cut down into the shape of a knife.

This sounds as fan-voted as when Johnny got "beat" for the Skills challenge voting by Johansson

There was no fan voting involved. The finalists and the final name were made by management types from fan submitted names.

They can still redeem themselves by bringing back Scorchy.

Was Stockton Heat really a fan submitted name though?

I would assume so, as at least one fan is going to win season tickets for submitting the name.
