In the ongoing saga of Jim Balsillies bid to buy the Phoenix Coyotes and move them to the hockey hotbed of Hamilton Ontario, Phoenix bankruptcy court judge Redfield T. Baum (that's gotta be a stage name) has allowed Jim Balsillie's (Co-founder or Research in Motion) bid to stand even though the NHL Board of Governors has just voted to reject Balsillie as an owner (the unspoken reason being spite). So maybe I am jumping the gun a little bit but I thought Jim should have at least some options ready for when (if?) he gets approved to move the team. So here are . . .
The Top Ten Names for the New NHL Franchise in Hamilton Ontario:
10. Hamilton Hahas ( because you're gonna laugh when you see them play the first couple of years)
9. Hamilton Roadrunners (Roadrunner always got the best of the Coyote right?)
8. Hamilton Handmedowns (which is what they are going to get from all the other NHL teams)
7. Hamilton Hondas (Guess who the team sponsor would be?)
6. Hamilton Halloween Horrors (because it'll be a bloodbath on the scoreboard when other teams come to town)
5. Hamilton Hitch Hikers (since these guys are the players that get bounced around from team to team)
4. Hamilton Heavenly Heroes ('cause Heaven help them when the finally start playing)
3. Hamilton Huckleberries (they are owned by the maker of Blackberries after all)
2. Hamilton Hulks (Don't make the angry - you wouldn't like them when their angry)
1. Hamilton Horsemen of the Apocalypse (because if Gary Bettman has his way it'll be the end of the world before a team plays in Southern Ontario)
Happy Friday Everyone!

Hey Bill,
ReplyDeleteI read several of your Top Ten list and thought they were hilarious. This latest one is great. I help run a site http://www.toptentopten.com/ which is entirely user generated top ten lists. We have seen that a lot of websites and bloggers who post their lists to our site are getting a lot of traffic to their site.
You can source your list when you create it, and a link to your site appears at the bottom of the list. A lot of people click on your link because the original source is always better. Another thing we've noticed people do is put your url in the description, and make the list votable, so people can change the rank of your items. Votes are really what makes your list and profile on our site more popular. The more popular your list is on our site, the more people see it, and hopefully will visit your site.
Let me know if you have any questions, and we hope to see your lists on our site.
Best Regards,
Vince
interesting!
