Re: The AltHL - Group C Voting & Owner Application!
Boston Pilgrims-Obvious reasons
Los Angeles Drillers-Southern California, due to being an underwater ecosystem in prehistoric times, used to be an oil-drilling hotspot.
Montreal Trappeurs-References the fur traders who settled in Canada during colonial times.
Calgary Spurs-Spurs are the pointy thing that go on cowboys’ feet.

Re: The AltHL - Group C Voting & Owner Application!
My submissions:
The Boston Pirates: Back in the age of Pirates, Boston was a key nest of Pirates. I wanted to play up Boston's underused relationship with the sea.
The Alberta Clippers: A winter storm that spreads its impact all over North America. Just like the team will.
The Los Angeles Skates / LA Skates: A little dual meaning here. Skates for hockey of course. But Skates for the fish that are similar to stingrays found in California.
The Montreal Chevaliers (Go Chevs!): I wanted a french word. Chevaliers is the french word for knights.

Re: The AltHL - Group C Voting & Owner Application!
Boston Anchors- The New England area has a lot of naval and general ship history, being a harbor and all.
Los Angeles Avengers- I know this existed as a arena football team, but it’s a perfect opportunity to name them after the current rise in popularity of the avengers movie, I imagine it like the Might Ducks.
Montreal Dukes- It plays off the french royalty theme that Montreal kinda has.
Calgary Broncos- Alberta is the Texas of Canada right?

Re: The AltHL - Group C Voting & Owner Application!
- Boston Crawdads, in reference to the seafood culture of the East Coast.
- Los Angeles Lions, not really in reference to anything, but it is a symbol of royalty, so it could double as a reference to the city's wealth and entertainment industry (through MGM's mascot being the lion)
- Montreal Chevaliers, I'll echo this one (I used it for my now-dormant series)
- Calgary Colts, a reference to the city's cowboy culture

Re: The AltHL - Group C Voting & Owner Application!
Hopefully I got this in time!
New England Renegades : a nod to the pirates and American revolutionaries.
Los Angeles Wildfire : I was going to go with California Fire here for the name of the people who fight wildfires, but I didn’t like it as much and LA Flames didn’t quite do it for me.
Montreal Musketeers : named after the standard issue weapon of the Voltiguers from the war of 1812.
Calgary Chargers : Wanted to stick with the western theme and stampede(rs) was taken.
Only the written records of his travels survive.
