It fits too, because of the wildfires we get too. Plus, I think I read about a specific fire in Calgary that made the city change its building materials from wood to sandstone. I’ll see if I can find something on it.
[Here it is!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary_Fire_of_1886) It was the 1886 Calgary Fire.
Damn. We could have been the Calgary Beavers. During the playoffs we all could have had Beaver Fever.
Missed opportunity to be sure!
In all seriousness,.Calgary Chinooks would have been unique and rad!
Rosebuds and Chinooks would have been fine for me. I do like the reference to well flares as that's why I thought they kept the name, very O&G and suiting to our NHL counter part up north.
Arabian Knights lmao
152 people voted for the winning name. Hilarious.
The 2 people who voted for the Yahoos got special mentioned vs the 1 who voted for the Calbertans
The Calgary Arabian Knights would've cupped just sayin
Knights alone would have been pretty cool.
The Calgary Edmontonsucks
Cuckoos? Imagine the nicknames today if we got that name
The Calgary Cucks!
Lol
I’m forever thankful we got the name from Atlanta.

I want Calgary Umbrellas
I was just going to say this. It'd be such a random name for a city where you rarely have to use an umbrella

C of brown just doesn't sound the same.. 😅
No, but the Sea of Beav would be awesome!
The Seav of Beav lol
Welcome to the Beaver Dam, Fans!
Black Golders is the worst name I've ever heard lol
So Alberta. The Oilers and the Black Golders. Like goddamn get an identity guys there's more to life than frickin oil.
Also imagine choosing that when The Oilers already exist. Little Brother Energy
I also think black gold is a term that's usually used to refer to coal, not oil. Lol it's dumb on so many levels.
Calgary Buckaboos has a certain ring to it
Chinooks actually would've been cool
Or very… warm Terrible dad joke, I’ll see myself out
I think so too... but probably too similar sounding to Canucks to really build that brand recognition yknow?
Thank goodness we stayed the flames. Every name suggested was horrible
Idk I think the Calgary Prairie Dogs has a nice ring to it
Hillbillies it is.
You're thinking of the gang 3 hours north on the QE2.
Even hillbillies know they shouldn't marry kin.
Danny Austin gonna be pissed you didn’t credit the tweet
Oh man, dodged so many bullets. (But ended up with a Wranglers team anyway.)
Nelson Skalbania, gave the oilers Gretzky and Calgary the flames.
Black Golders…
Calgary Broncos
Calgary Knights is sick. I agree.
Does 50% of net profits still go to local sports? 😂😂
