What’s the hold up with the name change?
It’s all in the hands of the lawyers
Can you elaborate or can you not say?
My knowledge is that it’s a done deal but that there are still some things in the hands of the lawyers that need to be worked out before an official announcement can be made. I’ve been told a couple of times that an announcement was coming and they haven’t… Bottom line…It’s in the hands of the attorneys
Ok thanks Mitch.
Mitch, Does the announcement have to be made prior to the AHL releasing the schedule?
I’m not an expert on it, but I would think from a marketing standpoint they have to get this done soon in order to get the sales moving forward. Whether or not they have to get it from a schedule release date would seem to make some sense if they are going to change the name.
I’m guessing here, but I would think sometime in the next two weeks would be mandatory to make it work.
If they do change the name, what happens with Howlings? Are you going to start a new site or just redesign this one? I assume you’re still going to cover them if they do become the Whalers, right?
Let me assure you now that HOWLINGS will still continue no matter what the team’s name is. Granted the name HOWLINGS might be a little bizarre in terms of a Whale, but it would be insane to change it. Nobody would know where to find it…
I will obviously have to remove the Wolf Pack aspect of it and replace/redesign it, but that’s not a big deal.
I’m not abig fan of the color green, but what can you do?
Is it safe to assume if it were to get done we would know before the end of August?
I don’t know, but I think that would be a big help…
I think its crazy how long this has been put off. Obviously Wolfpack fans are going to be pretty ticked off about the whole thing and then they have to develope a whole fan base (that kind of already exists) in pretty much less than a month.
There are a number of reasons why this took so long. The first is that Larry Gottsdiener didn’t want to get out of the way until just a couple of weeks ago. I’m pretty sure it would have been a violation of some sort of agreement had the Rangers had formal talks with Howard Baldwin and his group. These things take more than just a phone call or two to work out. I’m pretty sure they’re in the final stages now and I would expect an announcement coming soon.
As far as Pack fans getting upset, I think that is VERY short sighted. While I love the Pack as much as any fan out there, nothing is really changing other than the name and the laundry. Who cares what they call it as long as they continue in the same tradition?
I think that if Howard Baldwin takes charge that the arena is going to have a buzz about it again. Instead of barely 4,000 in the arena and little to no life, I would expect to see at least 6,000 a night in the first year (maybe more) and people getting excited again. Why is that a bad thing?
AS far as I’m concerned, remember I’m a Rangers fan through and through, I could care less if they are called the Whalers. Why should people who have loved their team as much as some of these fans have, be denied the chance to live through this team? I believe in building consensus. I don’t believe in childish feuds whether it’s Whalers and Rangers or Republicans and Democrats. It’s all so highly immature and does nothing to help our society.
If the Wolf Pack becoming the Whalers puts thousands more in the seats and eventually leads to Hartford once again becoming an NHL city, how is that a bad thing? I can’t fathom how it could be.
If the team NEVER generates enough to warrant the City getting an NHL team why would it be bad to have a passionate fan base in the AHL? I’ll tell you this much, if this doesn’t work and the team STILL does not draw after Howard takes over, I can promise you the Rangers will move the team anyway and then where will everyone be?
Just a thought or two for you…
