Name my hockey team

edited August 2010 in Help / Advice Forum
I've posted before about having just started ice hockey. We've actually got enough people in the group to form a team which is awesome.

It's the lowest division but it's a fairly non-competitive and fun league. We do have to however, decide on a name for the team. I'm not entirely creative, but I've seen the name my band/cat/child threads here and there are some pretty awesome names that come out of them.

I like puns, but anything goes really. The team is in Melbourne, so that could be part of it. It can't be "Melbourne ice" though.

Any ideas?

    Hahaha, these are all great. I love the Monroeville zombies one. Not sure how into Romero the other guys/girls are.

    Melbourne ultimatum is great, but here we say "Melben" almost. But it's still pretty awesome.

    To be honest, all these are great. Writing them all down :)

    I was on a team once called Them. Them, or Us, are both good. Who are you guys? We're Us! Who are we playing tonight? Them.
    Generally, if you're going to name your team after an animal, go for a carnivore.
    If you're going to get jerseys, call yourself after the team whose jerseys you're buying.
    If you're going to go for silly/funny, then just start spitting out ideas.

    HOWEVER: Let the team captain and maybe one or two others make the decision. Voting leads to discussion and debate, and then it takes forever for everyone to decide, and it just turns into a big pain in the ass. Put somebody in charge of it, let them decide, and then roast them at the stake when half the team thinks it's a bad name.
    How do you think I wound up on the Caribou?

    Speaking of which, here is a list of names of teams I have been on. Feel free to steal, or use them for a jumping off point:
    Bluedevils
    Bladerunners
    Yahoo! (corporate team)
    Avengers
    Albondigas
    Quicksilver
    Them
    Team America World Police (this may not work for you, but it's a fun trip down memory lane for me)
    Runs with Scissors
    Caribou
    Dirty Martinis

    The Hawk Keys.

    You have giant hawks holding golden keys in their talons.

    Do it.

    Alternatively, mustache malfunction is my favorite name for anything ever, including band names (mustache malkfunktion), with the logo being a man who's mustache is on fire.

    Arghh looks like my group are pulling a collective failure. They like the ideas:

    Melbourne Frost, or the polar bears.


    Frost is annoying at worst, and polar bears just seems eh.

    Then explain it to them with a completely straight face.

    It's only funny when you stop and think about it which is what makes it so clever.

    I had told my mother about our hockey team for about two years and she didn't get it until I explained it to her. And even then she didn't get, she then asked me if it was some kind of "sex thing".

    I tried explaining gentlemen on ice today with a straight face. I had a drawing of a walrus with a monocle and a top hat. I tried to legitimately complain that all the good animals are taken (sharks, ducks, penguins etc...) and it's lucky that classy walrus wasn't.

    I think she just thought I was retarded :P

    Walrus are taken. Maybe a beluga whale with a top hat and monocle?

    EDIT: Do NOT go to that website, and look at the pictures under the roster, especially, ESPECIALLY of the mascot
