I don't think they will use anything with Knights because it will cause issues with the broadcast if an announcer slips up and just says knights. Which is stupid. There are NCAA and Pro Teams that have the same names. How many Spartans, Bulls etc. are there?

I think it has more to do with Merchandising rights with the Knights name in Canada. But Im not Hockey lawyer on this subject.

Just call them something already so we can all universally hate it

I think the San Franciso Giants, NY Giants, NY Rangers, Texas Rangers.. etc are all ok with their merchandise. OHL is just trying to make things difficult. The CFL has two teams with the same name! Roughriders and Rough Riders... and thats ok? LMAO.

Used to have 2 teams called them. Ottawa's team was the Renegades, folded, then now its the Red Blacks since then.

Red Blacks? who the hell named them that, a 5 year old?

just call them something stupid like the Road Runners

I'm not a fan of the whole "Knights" thing. I'd rather them just be the Las Vegas Desert, or something unexpected.

20 years ago. That folded in 1996. They have had the Renegades as a new team after that...folded. Now the Red Blacks is another new team

Arizona's new AHL affiliate is the Tuscon Road Runners, not that it would stop Las Vegas from naming themselves that. But it's a cool name

How about Las Vegas Sand Snakes, Sidewinders, or Cutthroats (a trout)?

was already a hockey team....I think the Avs are trying to bring them back to be their relocated AHL team (or buy and promote the Eagles from the ECHL)
