Proposed Expansion team-Montréal Voyageurs

[Ledge 1,131]

                           There has been tons of speculation recently about expansion, and both @Spence King and @fyrefly have written extensive media spots on it. Fyrefly in particular argued that expansion isn’t a great idea right away. But it is possible, so i’m going to enter a name into the hat: the Montréal Voyageurs, or les Voyageurs de Montréal. 

 

                      The name ‘Voyageurs’ is registered deep inside Quebec, dating back to when French explorers such as Samuel de Champlain ‘discovered’ Canada. Ever since Champlain and his crew established Quebec City, ‘Voyageurs’ has been a term that describes traveling Frenchmen. In the VHLM, and in the VHL, too, there isn’t a French Canadian team, which is astounding, because Quebec is the second populated province in Canada’s. Heck, even Yukon Territory has a team. And I’m aware that there was once a Quebecois team called the ‘Meute’ or something, but that name couldn’t be used again, because the Mississauga Hounds is too similar. Anyway, the team could share ice at the Bell Centre with the Montreal Canadiens or the Place Bell with the Laval Rocket. My point there is that a stadium is not an issue. And as seen in previous expansions articles, filling the GM positions should not be hard at all. 

 

                      In further argument to prove that it’s a good name, because I should have already clarified that it’s a great city, the Montreal Voyageurs were once a team in the American Hockey League(AHL)in the late sixties . I’d like you to know that I did not copy the name off that, I just googled the name to make sure that I wasn’t violating any copyrights. And since that team folded over fifty years ago, I think I’m fine. 

 

P.S. I just wanted to say f**k autocorrect for trying to turn ‘fine’ into ‘inevitable’.
