Janesville Gazette: You're really working this hockey team angle. How about more stories in opposition to it?

Why not try a name that says "WE ARE HERE TO WIN." These names seem kind of like "We came to play but don't know if we will win." We need a fierce name.

Hannah, you have to read the article. 99 was the brigade from Janesville during WWII.

IRON BRIGADE tough as Iron and never gives up. Great Local and National History to the name also. Song "Another One Bites The dust by Queen"

I like the Janesville 99 reference, but maybe a better name (since there aren't 99 players on a team) could be the Janesville Guardsmen. (It kinda helps that they're right next to the NEW Armory, too.)
.
Too bad we don't have GM or Parker Pen here anymore. We could be the Janesville "Lucky Curve" or something like that.

I'm sorry but I think "Jays" is so played out in this town. We need something new.

I really think the name should be 'THE SAND PIT BLADES"
