Oh Lovely... When I hear Rapids I think of the MLS Colorado Rapids. I'll have to adjust. I think Maple Leafs would have been better, but who cares. Welcome Rapids!!

I think RR is just in such shock that some variation of Cat or Dog didn't make it.

Oh ya, I think you are right
 . Ya, lets call them the Rapide Cats or the River Dawgs or something. We need to be slavish and predictable, right?

I don't understand why the story on the official Can-Am League website implies that the team's name is officially - and solely - the Ottawa Rapides. Rapides is the name that will be used by Francophone fans of the franchise. The team's English-language name is officially the Rapids, as is evidenced by this logo:

I'm reminded of the old Niagara Falls Rapids team...

Surprise that Ottawa still has a team in the league as I thought there was a problem with using the stadium. But evidently they are still in the league as
they are on the schedule. Just got off the phone with someone who told me that the league is running the team and each team in the league is sharing the
costs. Has anyone heard anything about this?

The league will be running the team until they find a new owner. They thought it would be better than a road team even if it is more expensive. They believe in
the market and think that selling the franchise 750k$ is a good return on investment. Having Ottawa in the league also opens all of Ontario (Toronto suburbs,
Kitchener, London, Thunder Bay, Hamilton) for the future.

Lets hope it works. So, let me get this straight... they have no stadium to call their home? RR
