@FAITHandLOGIC Seattle is a candidate. How about Hartford or Miluwakee? :P

I can see the Hamilton Mustangs logo already. We will soon have 2 NHL Teams in Hamilton and Quebec City. :D :)

@MyCrosbyfan87 Yup I agree. Now let's remove the Florida Panthers from the scene, and the Mustangs could of came with Panthers colours in 1993 :D

@wpgjets4life Well, as of right now Copps Coliseum is outdated and we'll probably see Seattle very soon. In opinion, it's all politics with Buffalo and Toronto.

What a joke. Hamilton and Seattle should have been given teams. Too bad the NBA Sonics owner sabotaged the Seattle group's bid. To this day, I have no idea why the NHL is so dead set against granting a team to Hamilton.

I get ya dude! Hamilton Mustangs is a great name and for both of us i'd agree! :D

@MyCrosbyfan87 Well, even though there was an NHL team called the Tigers from 1920 to 1925, "Tigers" sounds a little too similar to the Tiger Cats. Knowing the 1990's, they could of named it after the Mustangs team that was in the movie Youngblood. It worked for the Mighty Ducks, it could of also worked for the Mustangs. The team colours could of been altered to green, red, and black to take away similartities with the Red Wings.

That would

[MyCrosbyfan87]

@avalanchesuperstar That would be cool! But I like the Hamilton Tigers team name. Anyone? :P
