How It Was Named | NHL Teams

I am still bitter about the North Stars leaving Minnesota. Not because of the team being gone but because the North Star team name was so awesome and unique. I will admit that the Stars also work perfectly with the Lone Star state.

Capitals

SJ: We don’t want our association to represent a weapon

Also SJ: Let’s add the triangle that represents the area where most people are attacked by sharks

The Seattle Kraken I didn’t notice the S was Octopus Duh it looks waaaay better now I noticed it lol

Just correction, im pretty sure the owner of LA Lakers changed their colors to royal purple and gold to match the color theme of the LA Kings. He was trying to do a refresh for the Lakers as they were moving into a new stadium

The Canadiens are the senior members of the NHL before 1917!!!

The Calgary Flames are named after “Flamers”. That means, a “flaming” person.

I don’t see what’s wrong with the name “Blackhawk.” It’s not racist or controversial like “Redskins” or inaccurate like “Indians.” Its based on a real person. The only ones who would get offended by this is woke virtue signaling white liberals who thrive off of being offended for minorities that they look down upon anyway.

Fun fact : Believe it or not, Quebec won the stanley cup 2 times... in 1912 and 1913 when they were named the Quebec Bulldogs. :)

Blackhawks better never change that beautiful name

Quebec isn't nor dicks it's not deeks😂😂😂😂😂😂

Quebec isn't nor dicks it's nor deeks😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just getting into the sport as a whole because I'm UK based and so tempted to follow Arizona Cyotes just because I like their logo so much.

Also coming from UK's football culture the idea you can just pick up and move a team is completely mad to me

I read that the Bruins held a naming contest and a lady employee from a department store won and the Bruins adopted the department stores colors of black & gold.

That pronunciation of “Les Canadiens de Montreal” was priceless 😂 botched every single word

I hope the Blackhawks will never change their name. F woke.

little known facts about Montreal's "CH" it actually stands for "Club de Hockey", not "Habs" as it is sometimes believed.

Awful French pronunciation.

Lez ?😂 ........thats how Chris Jericho says Les. He called himself a lesbian champion. The guy said it perfection but ignore the S.

RIP Coyotes

The wife of the leader Ownership group for Pittsburgh, like penguins. Not the whole igloo thing.

NHL Expansion franchises:

K.C. Cougars
MIL Shamrocks
HOU Apollos
S,D. Golden Gulls

POR Seals

the H in the middle of the Canadiens C stands for HABITANT, this is a french word a person who.inhabits a place......or so i have been told.....

you should do a video on all the dead hockey teams

it's Canadiens, not Canadians! rookie mistake.

Incorrect info about Montreal canadiens.
The name of the team is Le Habitant de Canada.
Hence, in the logo, you have CH, and not CM.

I heard Mr Foley, the owner of the Golden Knights, wanted to use "Black Knights" but the Army blocked it, so he went with Golden.

I will forever call the Miami panthers the Sawgrass Mall Rats 😂

You know how every year in the final game of the Stanley Cup Finals NHL commissioner Gary Bettmen would honer the captains to hoist the Stanley Cup first. But here's the thing, what happens if an NHL team wins a Stanley Cup but doesn't have a captain to be honered to hoist the Stanley Cup?

The knickname, Blue Jacket is from the Native American Chief Blue Jacket, who helped The settlers and Native Americans live in peace in the Ohio Valley.

rip the yotes

The Whalers were called the Hartford Whalers for as long as I can remember and the Anaheim Mighty Ducks DID NOT use the logo from the movie. The Duck Goalie mask was created for the NHL team and later adopted in the movie sequel that released after the team was formed.

(Sioux=Sue,Sooh)

thanks for the info about the NHL man. Hockey is my life and this will help a lot with understanding the names.

Release the Kraken!

Thank you for this. I’m a new fan of the NHL.

just want to make sure you understand that you said Nordiques incorrectly. you pronounce it Nor Deeks. not Nordicks lol

Is this an AI voiceover? I was enjoying the video until you mentioned the Native American scout “Serving” the land. Now I’m wondering if I was listening to a soulless robot voice this whole time

The NHL and MLS are the only leagues where I love my state teams.

I hope for a WNHL

It would be so easy to make the Blackhawks logo into a black hawk, allowing them to keep the classic name while not having the stereotypical image of a Native American all over their uniforms and building.

The Arizona coyotes are now called the Utah hockey club😊

mccill university also changed their name from redmen to redbirds even if their original name was in honour of the Scottish red hair and beard of the founders and nothing to do with natives

how about the Kansas city scouts and the Cleveland barons
