The Abbotsford Canucks. Lower-mainlanders will never know the difference.

One of the best things in life is to exploit widespread ignorance for commercial profit.

I like the Aviators.

I'm just glad the team is in a market where there is a lot of good hockey interest.

Aviators is a bit of a mouthful. I know it is not part of the list, but I would prefer Aces.

Jets: umm... sure, if they're a) in Winnipeg b) the Coyotes affiliate c) New York football team

Wings: works, if they're Detroit's affiliates.

Thunder: Oklohama beat them to it.

We're down to Pilots, Aviators or something else...

Same reason why the Mallards name should have been retained in QC: Let the team have its own identity.

[quote=Sample00;1832078]Abbotsford the community got its origins from the CP Railway.

"The Maclures named the land Abbotsford after family friend Harry Abbott, the Western Superintendent of the Canadian Pacific Railway.[4] The title passed hands to Robert Ward, who filed a town site subdivision on July 9, 1891. Also in 1891, the CPR built a railway line through the area that connected MissionSumas. This route was the only rail connection between Vancouver and Seattle until 1904."

My vote is for the

Abbotsford Express


I've changed my mind...this is an awesome name!

Abbotsford Aviators, I like it. It's old-school, and I like the AA on there.

Interesting that Heat and Flames are finalists given the owners nixed that from the start. I can only guess that enough people suggested them to cause the owners to reconsider.

What about the Abbotsford Arsonists? Alliteration, and Flames reference right there.
