As an outsider looking in my opinion may mean nothing to the good people of Trenton, but here it goes.

I think there are two issues.

Trenton vs Quinte West, I don't know which is correct, they probably both are, but the team history seems to be with the Trenton name. (we go through similar questions up here...the town name is Lindsay, but the "area" is known as "The City of Kawartha Lakes")

To me the bigger question is with the nickname. When we heard the name "Pack" we kind of expected a wolf on the logo. When my daughter, who volunteers at our home games, saw the uniform she questioned why they would put a lion on it. A group of lions of course is not called a "pack". However, given the macho image hockey teams strive for, the name "pride" may not be the way to go either.

A Quarter !

I cannot believe that there are almost a quarter of the total vote so far that like the name Quinte West Pack.

23 have said yes they like the new name. I figured 10-15 out of 100 would be a lot.


I guess the name Quinte does have some ties in the area.
Remember the Quinte Hawks(now idle in Bancroft).

Looks like the Sting are winning so far.

By the way Muskie1...the QW Pack I believe were originally going to be the QW Pride but for one reason or another they changed their mind.

I know their logo and colours are based on the old Pee Dee Pride team which used to play out of Florence, South Carolina in the ECHL.

Oddly enough, on a recent trip I stopped in Florence at a McDonald's just off Interstate 95 and they had lots of old Pride jersey's, team photos and other paraphernalia hanging on the walls.

You can read more on the Pride and see their logo here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pee_Dee_Pride

I voted to bring the Sting name back.
However I'd love to put one small requirement on that... make an effort to put a hardworking, successful team on the ice. Something similar to the teams of the late 90's and early 2000's.
