Bloomington, Ill., has acquired a United Hockey League franchise that will drop the puck in the 2006-07 season.
The Bloomington team doesn’t have a name yet. The team and a local newspaper is letting fans have a say on the nickname.
One of the choices is the 66ers, as in Route 66, which goes right through town.
Which one will you pick? I know which one I’m leaning to. 😉
Yes, I know Tulsa already has a 66ers team. But that’s in basketball, not hockey. There will be little chance of confusion.
