West Coast Express There is great history with this name, most NHL is aware that this unofficially belongs to Canucks, it shows the location of the club. And this looks and sounds great!

BC casinos have a HUGE money laundering problem. Let this angle go, too. ‘Ace’ will be a very cool nic-name for one of the players..or the Mascot? But, Abbotsford Aviators with Abby A’s as a shortenened version, works for me. The team will likely be log lots of air miles, just like the big league team does. I’d like to see Abbotsford even bring photos & memorabilia of Canadian aviation history into the arena (military or other wise). Abbotsford Airport is the emergency back-up for the YVR Airport & this is exactly what the aviators will be, for our Canucks! Aviators - come on board with it!

Stierlitz Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 From another threat 4 hours ago, Stierlitz said: I remember how Canucks have bought the Peoria Rivermen club in March 2013 to move it to Utica and rename Utica Comets. The Peoria Rivermen is the oldest minor league hockey franchise extant and the fourth oldest professional hockey franchise, behind the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League. Why don't we name our new AHL club the Fraser Rivermen? The Canucks franchise has the legal right to do so and this can connect the current AHL club to the previous Utica Comets and to several Rivermen clubs before that, starting in 1972. The local Peoria hockey club by the same name Peoria Rivermen plays in Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL). There is no hockey club with name Rivermen in either NHL or AHL.

Besides, if Canucks decide to move their AHL club from Abbotsford, then the name Abbotsford Rivermen and its logo would need to be changed. This is not the case with Fraser River which is the main river of Lower Mainland. Hey, we have Fraser River in Vancouver!
