We had this discussion a few years ago. My favourite suggestion then was "The Red Surge."

For those who don't know, "Red Serge" is the name given to the formal red uniform worn by the mounties.

Won't fly with Native people.

And to Joe, you aren't the only one who finds it goofy.

Terrible to think they actually use their real name and not one of the 20 "I think this is what we should call us instead" names.

What are you talking about?

My points were simply:

1) Team Canada is already our hockey team's moniker so we shouldn't steal it.

2) I guess you've never noticed how instead of calling us Canada, Dobson and Forrest often refer to the boys as "The Canadian Senior National Team" as if we thought Radzinski and Onstad were U-20. I think it's their attempt to sell the sport to newcomers as is most of their banter, but you don't see other sports desperately trying to qualify themselves to the ignorant viewer like this.

My vote goes for Canucks or all-reds or simply reds.

That IS weird about the constant reference to the Senior squad. They can call it Canada. It's not like the viewers won't know what sport they're watching.
