[edit] Name change
Nothing has been announced about a name change. The only indictation is the redirection of the former lock monsters website to lowelldevilshockey.com. The site only refers to the team as the "AHL's Lowell, Mass., franchise". As far as anyone is concerned: the domain name could just be a temporary placeholder for the Devil's AHL team in Lowell whose moniker is TBD. ccwaters 15:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- There was an article in the Lowell Sun regarding the name change for next year, sometime in early to mid-June 2006.--Azathar 02:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, My comment was before the announcement. Its irrelevent now... ccwaters 03:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Devils vs Lock Monsters...Same?
So New Jersey Purchased The Lock Monsters, and changed their name to the "Devils". The article should reflect both the Lock Monsters and Devils because they are the same franchise, just under new ownership. And the Lock Monsters, therefore, should not be a defunct team (or at least have the entire article put on the devils article with a redirect to the devils on the lock monsters page).
An example of name changing history:
- The New York Yankees were known as the "Highlanders" and were referenced as such (as well as the yankees name) until 1913.
Lowell should have their entire franchise in one article Mrsteak613 01:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- You'll notice that this franchise is treated no differently than any other AHL team that changed its name (ex Binghamton Dusters/Binghamton Whalers/Binghamton Rangers). ccwaters 13:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
