And then, there were 10.
Okay, so the “shortlist” isn’t necessarily tight and condensed yet, but at least fans now have a sense of what the new AHL franchise in Abbotsford might be named.
The Canucks sent out an email today to those on the list for season tickets, asking them to choose their three favourites among 10 options.
Those options were:
- Aces
- Aeros
- Avengers
- Aviators
- Canucks
- Golden Eagles
- Pilots
- Millionaires
- Sockeyes
- Falcons
The list includes four names that tie into Abbotsford’s aviation history (Aces, Aeros, Aviators and Pilots), and two more that include birds (Golden Eagles, Falcons).
