Group makes ‘very credible’ pitch for Halifax CFL franchise

[S.A.C.]

The name must be Atlantic something, I like the Storm!

Destroyers?
Anything, as long as it's not the Halifax Explosion.

I actually like the sound of Halifax Explosion but it will be a regional name Atlantic ???

Destroyers has a nice ring about it but isn't totally accurate historically speaking. Yup they convoyed destroyers across the Atlantic during the war but the Corvette had much more significance. I'm also not keen on the sound of Atlantic Corvettes.

It's not going to be Maritime anything, especially Marauders which makes no historic sense and even though Privateers has some cachet it is mostly related to NS. Schooners is really the only name that I can think of that could be made acceptable to the entire region and it works on several different levels.
