El paso cow patties hockey

That was last week. Now with the name change everybody knows we're here. Here's the straight poop on how they came up with the name. Benizio says he and marketing consultant Josh O'Bryne "got our thinking caps on and after a while, it was like we just stepped in it! Defenseman Rhett Dudley told the El Paso Times he admired the "individuality" of the name but cautioned: "It's going to take some adjustment. On a player and on ice, it made the Bruins look like a group of cartoonish characters—not a good look at all.

Dallas unleashed this horror in , designing a logo that was supposed to be the stellar representation of Taurus. Nicknamed the "Mooterus" for resembling the female organs, it's an embarrassing moment in Dallas Stars history. The rest of the sweater doesn't look half bad, which is truly a shame, but with a crest like that it's hard to take it seriously.

Tampa Bay's early alternate jersey is just bad. There's just too much going on on this jersey for anyone to really appreciate. Less would really have been more in this case. With the fringed font and the streaks of lightning coming down the player's arms, it's almost comical. Much like the Mallards, the Buzzards made their mark in hockey history with one of the ugliest jerseys ever made. If the cow print jersey didn't get your sides splitting, the fresh, steaming cow pattie did.

Nothing says competition like fresh cow dung, and the Buzzards left their "mark" with this sweater. I don't know what the Kings were thinking with this jersey, and where do you start if you want to complain about it? The Burger King logo looks angry on this sweater, but not half as angry as Wayne Gretzky, who probably had to refrain from laughing wearing this thing. Thank goodness for Mike Keenan, who smartly killed this sweater concept in as the coach of the St.

Louis Blues, because it is just comical. If the three raging trumpets in the front aren't enough, the cheery notes just don't look inspiring on any competitive level, let alone the NHL. We do have that here in Phoenix, and I don't mean the Coyotes. With all the light rail construction making a total mess out of downtown, I probably won't be at one any time soon. I'm probably missing some entertaining stuff over at US Airways Center. The ECHL has some exciting hockey. I became a big Trenton Titans fan during the lockout year in The Titans ended up going all the way to the Finals and eventually winning the Kelly Cup.

My friend and I went to all but two playoff games in Trenton It was some real exciting hockey and a great atmosphere for a minor league team. I have not been sure about going all the way down to the US Airways Center for the Roadrunners, since Glendale Arena is so close to me.

I've wanted to see the Roadrunners, just not sure if I want to go all the way downtown. I was thrilled to hear the Phoenix Roadrunners name start up again. I'll take in the occasional Diamondbacks game, but have a big tendency to get myself lost in that part of the city I'm dreading trying to get down to the ChampCar race there next year. I am wanting to hit a Roadrunners game up while I'm down here though.

I like how they play at home on Friday nights I became a Mississippi Sea Wolves fan when I was in Biloxi, they had some exciting games and was a good brand of hockey to watch. It was weird to think about, that a year after I'd watched them, the hurricane hit and tore up their arena, which was right across the road from the Gulf of Mexico. I was excited to hear that they are going to be starting up play again next year.

Hold on guys, check out these two blog entries on this topic I came across while looking for photos of the unused St. Louis Blues alternate. I saw that website too, that is where I found out that the tuxedo jersey was the Aces.

There are some horrendous ones in looking at those. That's Scotty Upshall at the end of the bench all the way to the right. How embarrassing for him! Yeah that's definitely him. He was on the Milwaukee Admirals since they're the farm team of the Predators.

Oh if the boys on the Flyers could only see that picture You can make out the Jokerit logo on the front of those things. However, those helmets are the icing on the cake. Willkommen auf NHL. Bienvenido a NHL. William Douglas has been writing The Color of Hockey blog for the past nine years. Douglas joined NHL. Hundreds of communities entered but El Paso, a largely Hispanic city along the United States-Mexico border in west Texas, earned the title as 's most spirited hockey community in America after amassing the most votes online in the Kraft Hockeyville USA contest.

Now the waiting is finished and El Paso, the Stars and Coyotes are ready to celebrate and showcase the Kraft Hockeyville designation as a testament to hockey's growth geographically and demographically. Stars and Coyotes officials said El Paso proves that hockey can succeed in so-called non-traditional markets and appeal to fans of color.
