They should be the Las Vegas Knights with LVK as their abbr. The 'Golden' is unnecessary. I suspect that it will fade over time. The Oakland/California Seals were "Golden" at one point. regards, G.

Is there something I'm missing? I was hoping for the Seattle Reign. The Scandahoovian sea monster is the Jormungandr. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the name is "Golden" because the state of Nevada is the number 1 producer of Gold. Edited April 16, 2019 by drummer4now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraken The kraken (/ˈkrɑːkən/) is a legendary cephalopod-like sea monster in Scandinavian folklore of giant size. According to the Norse sagas, the kraken dwells off the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorizes nearby sailors. Authors over the years have postulated that the legend may have originated from sightings of giant squids that may grow to 13–15 meters (40–50 feet) in length. The sheer size and fearsome appearance attributed to the kraken have made it a common ocean-dwelling monster in various fictional works. The kraken has been the focus of many superstitious sailors passing the North Atlantic and especially sailors from the Nordic countries due to their close proximity and its Scandinavian origin. Throughout the centuries the kraken has been a staple part of sailors' superstitions and mythos being heavily linked to sailors ability of telling a tall tale.

Let's re-visit this in another five years or so (give or take). regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Seattle has some industry like Boeing, something we don't have. Every city has its problems. GVRD is a victim of bad planning, and worse leadership. So... The millionaires?
