The Great Boston PWHL Team Name Caper: A Hockey Mystery (Mostly Solved)
Ah, Boston. City of chowder, cheers, and...a professional women's hockey team with a name that's more elusive than a perfectly placed slapshot. Buckle up, hockey fans, because this is a story that's got more twists than a Zamboni on overtime.
The Plot Thickens (Like Boston Clam Chowder)
Back in 2023, the PWHL bursts onto the scene, and Boston nabs a coveted franchise spot. Everyone's excited, visions of cheering crowds and championship banners dancing in their heads. But then...crickets. No team name. No logo. Just a whole lotta "what gives?"
Trademark Trademark on the Wall, Who's the Fairest Name of All?
Rumors swirl faster than a skater on a power play. "Boston Wicked" gets trademarked, then promptly gets slammed by fans. Let's just say, it wasn't exactly a "wicked awesome" choice. The plot thickens like a forgotten pot of baked beans (don't @ me, New Englanders, I love your food...mostly).
The Plot Twist That Had Us Saying "Huh?"
Here's the kicker: the team hits the ice for their inaugural season...still nameless! They just went with "PWHL Boston" for lack of anything better. Talk about a team with an identity crisis that would make Hamlet blush.
The Mystery (Mostly) Unravels
Fast forward to today, and the plot thickens...no, wait, it thins! There's still no official team name, but the team itself seems content to embrace the "PWHL Boston" moniker for now. Maybe they're taking a page out of the Montreal Canadiens' playbook – short, sweet, and to the point.
But hey, there's always hope! Maybe a fan contest will erupt, or a local legend will step in and christen the team with a name that'll go down in Boston hockey history. Until then, we'll just have to cheer for...well...PWHL Boston. It has a certain ring to it, right?
