One Last Vote On My Team Name

Postby ArrylT » Wed Jan 02, 2019 6:44 pm

See this thread for story details:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=176161

& this for the previous vote:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=176196


Basically it comes down to the final 3 names - the rest did not earn enough votes to survive.
My thanks if you participated in this exercise either by suggesting a team name and/or casting a vote.
As part of my thanks I've made sure to go through all the recent team advice polls & casted a vote.

But let us see - which of these 3 names do you like the best?

Have not followed previous posts, but Ottawa Ice just has a nice ring to it and would be my first choice. The Algonquins is very original however.

Ice... Because that's about all I know about Ottawa. I think it's the most popular food, drink and #1 export in all of Canada.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Looks like Ice it is - I could let this poll go past 20 or 25 votes but unless one of the other names has a run of votes - Ottawa Ice it is.

Name chosen & voted upon by you the dynasty community!

The Algonquins is not an original team name. It’s the name of a group of indigenous people from North America. Unless the owner is actually Algonquin, it’s not a reasonable name to use for a fantasy sports team.

It’d be similar to naming a fantasy football team “Chicago Sicilians.” Unless you’re Sicilian (an ethnic group native to the Italian island of Sicily), this would also be a silly team name. Given the atrocities that North American indigenous people endured, I think it’d just be insensitive to name a fantasy team that (unless the owner is Algonquin as I said).

Sorry to get all social justicey here. Either way, I voted for the Outlaws but I like Ice as well.

Maybe next time. ;)

Mrowmix I get what you are saying but the largest college in Ottawa is actually called Algonquin College, and as far as I am aware of, the Algonquins never have had an issue with that.
