San Francisco Pride affiliate team would play and be located near - San Jose. San Jose is known to have a rabid hockey fan base. Also, San Jose is near San Francisco, so young players and prospects would have a chance to be around the parent team and its players. It's good to have strong ties with senior team players whom can show the ropes, ins and outs of how to be and behave like a professional hockey player.

The affiliate team would be called San Jose Peak - named after the famous Mission Peak Regional Preserve, which is a known Preserve and has symbolic importance to the local area.

I'd love for the team to be run by @bluesfan55 cause he knows how to pick up his teammates, motivate them and is just a great locker room presence. I bet that would translate into managerial duties very very well. also i'd like to add @Muerto who is just a fantastic coach and a true team leader, who is more than capable to mold any young team into championship caliber players. I'd love to have @tweedledunn as the team brand manager to design the team visuals, team look and i trust him that his vision would add some needed panache and pizzazz to this teams' look.
