    Default Tragically Hip Inspired Fantasy Hockey Team Names

    Hey fellas,

    So in order to make any sense of this thread or to contribute, you'd have to be a pretty big fan of The Tragically Hip. In the past I have used song titles by The Hip as my team name. I've been Silver Jets, Dark Canucks and Wheat Kings to name a few.

    This year I wanted to possibly use Hip lyrics as a team name instead of song titles. I've been trying to think up something clever but so far I've only come up with...
    Muddy Old Skulls (100th Meridian)
    War Room Janitors (Hot Mic)
    Sober Zoo Lions (The Luxury)
    Sopping Wet Shoes (Vapour Trails)

    Any other clever suggestions? I'll be creating a new keeper league (see sig. if at all interested) this fall so I'd like to come up with something I really like and keep it for years. Let's hear 'em boys!

    Haha that is a good idea but I don't want to use any kind of hockey pun or else I'd go with Tragically Hip Checks. I'm trying to think of actual lyrics or rearranged lyrics that could be used as a team name.

    I like Garbage Bag Trees a lot. Right now my two front runners are War Room Janitors (just because it is somewhat hockey related) and Muddy Old Skulls (just because it sounds bad ass). But the ideas above are all great though, keep them coming!
