[2X First Media] SMJHL S73 All-League Name Rankings

As a fun mid-season activity other than a power ranking or otherwise involved analysis, I have decided to rank my favorite names currently in the SMJHL. I will be breaking down my top name picks per team, and finalize with my favorite name in the whole league! Let's get started!
Anchorage Armada : See, this was meant to be an actual analysis and reasoning for consideration of the names that I'm nominating up here, but of course we start off with Anchorage, who my favorite name needs only a one word reason to convince you - and that word is UBBA. Favorite Name: Ubba Lodbruk Honorable Mentions: Benny Hanna; Barg Hazbite Carolina Kraken : The second team alphabetically, and I had two really strong contenders for this one - Walter Melon and Sith Happens. All in all, although both are top tier names, I had to choose the name that made me laugh every time I tried saying it out loud. Cmon, try it! It rolls off the tongue so well! Favorite Name: Walter Melon Honorable Mentions: Sith Happens; Lazer Gato Colorado Raptors : For the Raptors, I went with the recency bias and chose the topical name of the moment. It can be used both as a thing "the Update Portal" AND a verb "Update Portal please :(" Favorite Name: Update Portal Honorable Mentions: Peter Lasma (P. Lasma, get it?); Oranj Konhe Detroit Falcons : I may regret this decision for the Falcons, but only because I have to do so much more work to put this name into this article. First of all, I had to click through to the player name on the index because it was TOO LONG TO SHOW THE WHOLE THING! Second of all, my CTRL key is currently broken, so I had to TYPE OUT THE WHOLE THING MULTIPLE TIMES. This definitely added 20 minutes by itself However, I appreciate the pain and suffering that this name has likely caused on any broadcast where the announcer had to announce this name, so it is my top pick for this team. Try saying it five times fast, it is Mephistopheles Morgonstjarna! Favorite Name: Mephistopheles Morgonstjarna (I hope I spelled it right) Honorable Mentions: Kenny Omega; The (Ohio State University) Murray Great Falls Grizzlies : For the Grizzlies, I am going for the most unique name, and what is more unique than the only name (as far as I am aware of) that incorporates numbers in their name? That's right, this posthumous award goes to RIP THUNDERDOME 2013-2023. Favorite Name: RIP THUNDERDOME 2013-2023 Honorable Mentions: Poiklm; John Peanut Kelowna Knights : My choice for Kelowna's nominee perfectly uses a dual hyphenated last name to make a believable real world name that is just straight up funny. Believe it or not - Kelowna's nominee is none other than Ho Lee-Smokes! Favorite Name: Ho Lee-Smokes Honorable Mentions: Activity Check; Pablo IceCreamBar Maine Timber : Sorry everyone - this one is just a personal bias of mine, as it is the name of my favorite pitcher in the MLB - Logan Webb. May he please stay with the Giants forever and bring us some World Series soon! Favorite Name: Logan Webb Honorable Mentions: Buster Knutt; Shootin Blanks (please tell me these two play on the same line) Nevada Battleborn : I wish I could say who my favorite name for the Battleborn is, but sadly I can't. I'm honestly too afraid to do so, so you all will just have to guess... Favorite Name: Unspeakable Horror Honorable Mentions: I-Stir MyPudding; Just Perfection Newfoundland Berserkers : Why am I writing this section so late at night? All the names on this team are doing is making me super hungry. I have to go with my favorite breakfast food on this one, which I might just stop by McDonald's (not an ad) in the morning to grab a "Mac Griddle". Favorite Name: Mac Griddle Honorable Mentions: Sad Ketchup; Sabage Cabage Quebec City Citadelles : God I love this meme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qgxAHW1w78 Favorite Name: Lean On (Coconut Mall) Honorable Mentions: Juan Tymer; Shawn Pawn Regina Elk : The cutest name in the league, one of the most adorable animals in the world, the winner for Regina is the Red Panda! Everyone should also watch Turning Red, it is a great movie! Favorite Name: Red Panda Honorable Mentions: Future Considerations; Guy Incognito St. Louis Scarecrows : Although i'm a fairly unserious person, sometimes I need to be professional at work and online. Therefore, I would be amiss if I didn't nominate the most professional name in the SMJHL - Mr. Plow. You WILL refer to him as Mr. Plow only (never on a first name basis), or you WILL suffer the consequences. Favorite Name: Mr. Plow Honorable Mentions:Dee Fence; Average Dude Vancouver Whalers : Lily Jin Morrow, next. Just kidding, I can't nominate myself - that would be too easy! I am instead going to nominate my teammate GM's Son. There is no wonder why GM's son is being picked for this nomination. His dad threatened me that he was going to switch my player to goalie and tank the team so we will lose every game as long as my player stays in this league. He will blacklist me and make every day of my life a living hell. So I obviously had no choice but to put his son up in this article so I didn't get punished. GM's Son is one of the most unique names in the entire league. His sequence of three letters followed by three letters is perfect symmetry, only disrupted by a creative apostrophe, which adds a certain imbalance to the balance, a push and pull, truly making a work of art in the typography witnessed every time his name is written. Truly no other name can compare. Favorite Name: GM's Son Honorable Mentions: Inactive Forever; Bob Wehadababyitsaboy Yukon Malamutes : Last but not least, we come to the Yukon Malamutes. I have to go with a play on a character from my favorite childhood TV Show Spongebob Squarepants - Squidwardo Tentacles. Favorite Name: Squidwardo Tennisballs Honorable Mentions: Furious Chicken; Fred Bread ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And now finally, since we have gone through all fourteen teams, it is time to announce my favorite three names in the SMJHL. In Third Place, my third favorite name is: GM's Son (sorry I was forced to put him in the top three, I should have read my contract closer, sorry Ubba) In Second Place, my second favorite name is: Ho Lee-Smokes In First Place, and having the coveted title of "Best Name in the SMJHL", is none other than: WALTER MELON! I hope everyone enjoyed this little write up, but your work in reading this article is not done! I want to know what YOUR favorite name is in the SMJHL! Please feel free to vote on the attached poll with your favorite, or leave it in the comments if I have sadly not included it! Tell me how wrong I might be! (but please keep it civil my emotions are very fragile) Thanks again for spending your time reading this garbage plate of an article - and GO VANCOUVER BABY Shiamus, signing off!
