Congrats to the Habs.
There is another team in the 100 year group that might be the oldest of them all. Any guess who that is?
How about Vancouver (Millionaires)?
An existing professional sports franchise.
Yes. There are actually two teams but one is truly unchanged in name.
The Toronto Argonauts were formed in 1873. Members of the Toronto Argonauts Rowing Club put a team in the Canadian Rugby Union. The Canadian Rugby Union eventually was given some hardware in the early 1900's called the Grey Cup. The Rugby Union eventually became in the CFL in post WWII. The team has had the same name and has operated consecutively since 1873.
In 1869 a team called the Hamilton Tigers created a rugby team. They eventually merged with another team then became the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 1950's.
There is lots of haggling going on concerning the decision to retire canuck sweaters.
Do you think Trevor Linden's sweater should be retired?
Do you think Markus Naslund's sweater should be retired?

We would love the return of the 'Winnipeg Jets,' hope it happens.
'WHERES THE MONEY', those big corporations, with the deep pockets,
need to step forward, and we need more teams in Canada.
Those teams, in parts of the U.S., that don't care about our
game, what are they doing there, and why aren't they here in our country.
We're cheering for you, make it happen.
I'd like to say it's all up to us here in Winnipeg but there has to be pressure from other centres to make it happen. As long as the so called salary cap keeps being adjusted upward it isn't going to happen. Let's face it the rich teams control the league and bringing hockey back to Winnipeg isn't on their plate. Wait till the southern franchises start to fail and the American TV contracts, that Mr Bettman has been chasing for years, disappear, then and only then will salaries drop again to where Winnipeg and Quebec City can get the NHL back.
In the mean time I'll keep cheering against the leafs and anything else "Moronto"
KHL looks far more exciting than the NHL this season, if the KHL is properly managed and controlled.
I hope you are kidding...
What is the KHL?
I hope you are kidding...
Not at all, the NHL has been total **** since the 04/05 stike, watch a KHL game this season you will be surprised. [Thats if your not still stuck in the whole cold war mindset]

Joe Sakic announced today, that he has signed a contract for anotherJoe Sakic announced today, that he has signed a contract for another
year of hockey with the Colorado Avalanche, he said, he is healthy, and still wants to play
and is looking forward to the season.
I guess Sundin will be next. I just saw a classic Nordiques game a couple of weeks ago and they looked good together.
I heard he might sit out awhile before going anywhere. They should cut bait and focus elsewhere.
