FINAL Elgin Thames NAME SELECTION
Thank you to everyone who cast their votes. We had two names that came to the top and were separated by less than 1% (6 votes out of more than 500 votes cast). Additionally, the bottom four names made up a total of 55% of the total votes. 

With this in mind, we have had discussions and feel that we would like to do another vote with only the top two options, so that we make sure our new name represents a majority of our new membership.

The team name for the Elgin Thames Minor Hockey has been narrowed down to:

  • 73’s – this name represents the 73 highway that connect all three of our areas
  • Ice Hawks – the hawk is an animal local to our areas and it incorporates the element of flight

Please click this link to vote on the inaugural name for the Elgin Thames Minor Hockey. Voting will close on Sunday, November 3rd at 9:00pm. Once our name is determined we will be sending out the opportunity for rough draft logo submissions that we will get professional mockups made of the top 3-5 entries.

The Timbits Sports Program is a community-oriented sponsorship program for children four to eight years old who participate in local house league sports teams. The program's philosophy is not based on winning or losing - but on learning a new sport, making new friends, and just taking time out to be a kid. Tim Hortons currently sponsors over 200,000 children who play on hockey, soccer, lacrosse, t-ball, baseball and ringette teams across Canada and in the United States. Each sponsored team is supplied with Timbits Minor Sports jerseys or T-shirts. Timbits hockey teams are often given the opportunity to play on-ice scrimmages during intermissions at Junior, American Hockey League (AHL) and National Hockey League (NHL) games.
