Five potential names for new team
Abbotsford (or Fraser Valley) Jets, Wings, Thunder, Pilots or Aviators
The Fire or Flames was popular but already ruled out

Brilliant...toss out the 2 alliteration possibilities right away.
Horrible marketing.

Jets? Ha!
The Vancouver Canucks have their farm team in the city that used to have the NHL Jets, and now might potentially have a farm team in their backyard called the Jets but affiliated with their rival. Bizarre!
I'm personnally not a fan of any of those names, but would pick Aviators from the lot. I'm sure it will be a winner logo with a plane on fire.
Honestly, wouldn't the coolest name be something along the line of 'Firebombers'? Keep the aeronautical theme, link it in with the Flames, and recognise all the brave firefighters who battle those BC forest fires each summer.
Someone has probably pointed this out, but Abbotsford is David van der Gulik's hometown.

i like the bombers...go with the aviation theme, but sounds a little more imposing than jets or aviators. also, they could use a air raid siren to celebrate goals

Even though it's my number one choice, the Aviators will be a hard sell because of the Houston Aeros....Sort of a similar name.

I have to second "Firebombers".
That just sounds cool and ties in well. No clue what the crest would look like though.

Firebombers extinguish flames; don't like that connotation

Of the five names that are presented in the OP, I like Aviators the best.
I also like Abbotsford Afterburners
But, if it has any reference to Flames or fire, perhaps Canucks or Oilers fans will be put off. What about a name that encompasses all three Western Canada teams? Something like.... The Fraser Valley Flaming Whale Oil
