Good point Googlie; had not even thought of that one but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not call them the Abbotsford Aviators? Kind of a nod to the Abbotsford airshow. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV's Coin Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hopefully they use the Johnny Canuck cartoon logo so those people that like the Johnny Canuck cartoon logo can get their fix; and hopefully it never comes up again that the Johnny Canuck cartoon logo should be an NHL team logo , such as the Canucks. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a nod to the Abbotsford airshow. Im really digging the Abbotsford Aviators, and the fan made jersey looks really nice. Should probably work in some sort of airplane patch on the shoulders. I was against a team in Abbotsford years ago when there wasn't much teams in the Pacific in the AHL but now there is, im all for it. It will be great for the city of Abbotsford and that region in general of having some quality hockey and entertainment. So many people won't do the trek to Rogers arena cuz of time constraints, $$, distance etc. Im not going to be suprised if the abbotsford arena (whatever its called) is going to be packed nightly.

They'll need every one of their 8500 paying fans if they are going to subsidise the other Pacific Division teams for flying in from southern California for games. San Diego, Bakersfield, Ontario, Stockton and Palm Springs are all about 2 hours apart (except Stockton- maybe 4 to 5 hours from Palm Springs and San Diego up the I-5) Edit: I overlooked San Jose's farm team, the Barracudas, who also play in San Jose. ..... that's about 7 hours drive from the southern teams, so I am guessing they fly in for those games too Edited May 8, 2021 by Googlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I’m glad our farm is close. Crossover coaching, and way easier to move guys up or down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) iirc that was an AHL Governors' condition for The Heat's relocation, but that was for teams in the east and central USA (And welcome back. - haven't seen you around for ages!!)

TomatoPieFan Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Thank you Vancouver Canucks organization and all Canucks fans that supported our Utica Comets. Sucks that the Covid prevents a proper send off for the team. Last home game tonight vs Amerks. Could be a worthy watch for those with AHLtv. First game vs Amerks with Arseneau back in the lineup. Good luck Canucks and fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
