I always support the team with the least racist sounding name. After that, I always support the underdog.

I guess that makes you Nanaimo Clippers fan then. lol


Added: looking at West Kelowna logo it appears to be Roman soldier

Yup, cultural appropriation.

I get the Vernon Vipers, with Rattle Snake point

I don't really get the connection between Salmon Arm & Gorilla's though

[Glacier]

The Salmon Arm Lesbians would probably be a more fitting name, but I think they have a few Sasquatches around there, so maybe Gorilla is appropriate too.

[occasional thoughts]

According to Wikipedia and other sources, the now-named West Kelowna Warriors began life as a BCHL franchise as the Langley Hornets in 1994. The Castanet sports reporter insists on making references to their current success as "best in the franchise's 10-year history" despite being informed that is a factual error. The Hornets were renamed and the franchise relocated from Langley 10 years ago, but the franchise is 22 years old. Simple arithmetic, simple factual error easily acknowledged by correction.
