Putting this here since there doesn't seem to be a general NHL thread.

 

NHL suspends season in response to COVID-19 pandemic

There were ten games scheduled for tonight which apparently will not be happening.

 

Glad I made it to a Canucks game in Vancouver last weekend, rather than waiting for the next weekend home game.

I think this is the time to note that Seattle was close to winning the Stanley Cup in 1919 when the series had to be cancelled due to the flu pandemic......     COVID-19 will likely infect all the threads on VV soon.....   We need thread self isolation and quarantine the main COVID-19 thread from the rest of the forum

So, uh, we have a new name for the home of the Seattle __________, Climate Pledge Arena

 

Amazon purchased the naming rights but opted not to use a corporate name in the branding. via https://dailyhive.co...te-pledge-arena

Wasn't the feeder team to be based in Palm Springs, I'm reading the new Palm Springs Arena project is on hold and the developer is re evaluating if the project will proceed.

Here's the logos and jersey.  I quite like the space/needle anchor.

Turns out Seattle Sockeyes was already trademarked as a hockey-themed romance novel series

 

 

"Hockey romance books are really, really hot," Bowerman said. "I enjoy doing it. I'm making six figures and I'm retiring early from my state job to focus on writing full time."

   
 

The summary of the plot line of one of Bowerman's recent novels, "Skating on Thin Ice," might seem familiar to residents of the Puget Sound region.

 

It involves "a billionaire" who seeks to bring hockey to Seattle and how his "mission clashes with his passion for the woman who holds his heart."

 

In an interview from her home in Shelton, Bowerman emphasized she's a big hockey fan who truly wants the NHL to come to Seattle.

Hockey enthusiasts have suggested the Sockeyes as one among several names for the new franchise.

 

Bowerman insists her trademark move is merely a defensive one.

"I'd been talking to a trademark attorney, who is a friend of mine, and she said to me, 'Get a trademark,' " Bowerman said. "I did it to protect myself. I was worried that if they used that name that I might have to go back into all my books and change the name, which would be costly and which I did not want to do at this point."
