Flamingo near fort apache where hes been gathering some name ideas. John, christine. The wednesday night adult leagues wrapped up about 20 minutes ago. And even though the rink here is empty at the moment. The players who skate here on a daily and nightly basis are full of different names and ideas for their soon to be nhl team. I like the las vegas aces. Scorpions, las vegas scorpions. P the name outlaws. I like the knights. Maybe vegas gamblers. Everyone has a name picked out. Everyone. Except the las vegas hockey team. On tuesday bill foley appeared on sportsbook radio with brian blessing. Whats the team name. You almost got me he says knights are in it in some fashion and maybe a bird. Foley also said are off the table due to trademark issues. But the biggest news was the possibility of a bird. Nevadas state bird, is the mountain bluebird. But i didnt find many in favor of that idea. Did you Say Something about birds that will be, what was it again . I think if youre going to go toward a bird, it would be more like the roadrunners or Something Like that, but as far as the blue birds, i dont know if that will go over so well. Anyone with the bird, nothing like that. Despite the ideas. All agreed on the importance of this decision. If you have a name that no one will want to cheer for, than whats the point of showing up. Its huge, thats what everybody is going to be chanting in the crows, its what were going to be wearing on our sleeves, on our shirts, on our jerseys, on our hats, so its pretty big. Whole team, representing the team, name, colors, uinis everything its like the base of the team, so its the biggest thing. Blessing tells me no one is in a bigger hurry to pick a name than bill foley himself. He spent 500 Million Dollars, or jerseys, its costing him money, this is going to be a huge deal paying back that 500 Million Dollars, so every day that goes by, its a frustrating process for him. Frustration for foley. Excitment for everyone else. I dont care what they call it, there is a hockey team in las vegas. Im just excited that it came here and the nhl is going to play here, im not going to be picky about the name. Now today bill foley had a teleconference with the National Hockey league and adidas. With brian blessing on sportsbook radio. He said a decision could and probably would be made today. But it would not be announced until midseptember. From the Las Vegas Ice rink. Im vince sapienza.
