Hockey Club is the opposite of generic in North America, where every other sport team is named after some stupid gimmick or mascot. It's actually unique and novel, while Yeti would be lame and childish.
Here are a few other rumors I've read in The Local Paper:
The last part is funny, considering the crowds of sports teams with "generic names" have by far the better and louder fans and atmosphere than anything in North America.
Or the NFL team in New Orleans.
I'm sure they could work out a deal, just use Something Good as an intro song. Would be a banger:
Well I mean there's an MLB team with the name Rangers, doesn't seem to be a problem there...
Coaches can't yell at players anymore, especially not the newest ones. Players look at them like "I've been there for longer than you and I make more money than you". They don't have a lot of authority.
It's amazing how badly Anaheim keeps missing on their HC hires. Cronin has been just about as disastrous as Dallas Eakins, another guy who seems to find success at the AHL level but can't get the job done in the NHL.
Oh, I think they can still yell, but when just keep berating their players over and over, or worse, singling them out in front of their teammates, nope, that shit don't fly no more.
It's a broader reflection on society. It's not just coaching the sports team. Your boss at your workplace, your teachers, your commanding officers in the military... Yelling and just appealing to authority isn't cutting it with today's youth. And good for them for standing by themselves.
Jon Cooper doesn't do that. I don't think Jim Montgomery does either, and I'm willing to bet David Carle doesn't either.
Some people were made to be NHL coaches and others are just good at the prep/NCAA level. Cronin and Quinn definitely seem like the latter who should have a successful 30+ years at one programme instead of being in the firing line in the NHL.
