Might as well call them the unicorns, because it'll never happen. They'll put teams back in Canada before they move down here.

Without a doubt "Fightin' Crawfish" and again I would support them as I did the ECHL team in Shreveport.

Tha hell?

N.O. ain't getting an NHL team either way. The NHL sunbelt trend was stupid, and seems all but dead -- for good reason.

Nawlins Not4Longs..aka Nawlins Flameouts(NHL in Atlanta Part Two)

But, it would be funny to see the Dale Brown they hire to go around the state handing out P&G nets and balls..IE..franchise colored pucks and cheap version hockey sticks and jerseys.

1) Pelicans (Atlanta uses their state bird)
2) Ice Gators (maybe too minor-leagueish)
3) Jazz (the Blues would be our big rival)
4) Crescents (vs. Dallas' Stars)
5) Black Bears (vs. Florida Panthers--Bruins might have it trademarked)
6) Thunder (vs. TB Lightning, again OKC trademark)
all I can think of for now...

ETA:
Drillers, Roughnecks or Crude, since that's all we'll have for the next ten years anyway.

Who's using the Pelicans? I know that was the old AA baseball team.

Tom Benson owns it, he bought the rights a few months before the Zephyrs came to town. It would have been for the AA team he was buying.
