Edmonton Snowflakes?

That'd sell well with the cancel culture set.

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

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

Treliving is ex-rcmp. Maybe he has guilt issues.

I've always heard Empire floating around as the frontrunner for their new name.

Edmonton Empire works... I can see them going with that

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.
