It's crazy that Blades of Steel predicted the name of the new Minnesota NHL team while the old North Stars were still there.
They also predicted that the Birmingham Rangers would move to Hartford in 1997 and become the Wolves (Wolf Pack)
And Ottawa's mascot is a Lion.
... Oh wait, are Ottawa and Hartford new teams that you added?
Whoops yeah: "the eight new teams were also given related team names. If anyone wants to guess the process that went into choosing names. "
Winnipeg Foxes - no idea
Quebec Tigers - There's a QMJHL "Tigres" team (victoriaville I think?)
Hartford Wolves - Wolf Pack
Ottawa Lions - Spartacat lion mascot
Detroit Racers - ... they made cars there?
Philadelphia Hammers - Dave "The Hammer" Schultz
Boston Pursuits - ... I don't wanna be chased by an indefatigable bear...
Calgary Anvils - Anvil.. Forge.. Fire.. Flames?
