Madison Milkmen coming to a rink near you?

by Adam Hoge on Feb 24, 2009 5:09 PM CST in Wisconsin Badgers Hockey

As we mentioned in Tuesday's Badger Bits, Twin Lakes Hockey Partners, LLC, announced the return of professional hockey to the city of Madison.

What we didn't mention is the nicknames they are considering for the team: Ice Muskies, Maulers, Milkmen, Miners, Moondogs and Muskrats. The Madison Milkmen? Really?

We think our readers can come with something better. What about the Madison Capitals?

Tell us what you think...

Well, assuming the alliteration is a requirement:

Then one could have:

The Madison Mendotas (or Mononas)
The Madison Massacre
The Madison Madmen
The Madison Mystery

He’s not the worst pitcher ever, just the worst good pitcher.

milkmen may be ridiculous...

I’m partial to Maulers, if they’re going to stick with alliterative names. But the Mad(ison) Hatters would be pretty good too.
