Edmonton Snowflakes?

That'd sell well with the cancel culture set.

It's official - Edmonton will be an NHL hub city. Toronto as well.

Boston Pizza

@bostonpizza

As part of a larger shift in our overall marketing strategy, Boston Pizza recently ended its sponsorship of Edmonton’s CFL team.

Hi BP. Can I get an order of cancel culture with my pepperoni & mushroom pizza?

Although an easy scapegoat I read that BP was planning on changing their sponsorship planning anyway and just used the name controversy as a convenient exit.

Edit:

The pizza chain told Daily Hive in a statement that it ended the sponsorship with the team in May.

“Although these decisions were made in advance of and for reasons other than the recent movement within society to reconsider culturally insensitive and inappropriate names and practices, we have shared with Edmonton’s CFL team management that we would morally support a change in the team’s current name,” spokesperson Marian Raty said.

Nice timing and of course purely coincidental.

They already use it in their recent marketing so it makes sense.
