Las Vegas hockey franchise owner Bill Foley would love to have a name for his expansion team, and hes open to ideas.Three weeks after the NHL awarded a new team to Foley, he said his group is having trademark issues and wants to settle on a name quickly. After selecting George McPhee as his general manager, Foley expressed some impatience at how the process has stalled.We have a lot of names in mind, but a lot of the ones I really liked are trademarked, so thats a little bit of an issue, Foley said Wednesday. Im happy to take any suggestions anyone has for a name, particularly one thats not already trademarked.Foley is a 1967 graduate of West Point and has expressed an affinity for the name Black Knights as a nod to the Army. Canadian sports network TSN reported Wednesday that Knights was likely to be the name of the Las Vegas team, which will begin play in 2017-18.After agreeing to pay the league a $500 million expansion fee, Foley joked that he should be able to pick the name. He reiterated once again that there wont be a pick-the-name contest but cited the urgency to get a name.Our goal is to have a logo and a team name ASAP, Foley said. I didnt realize how complicated it was. It is complicated, and were working our way through the process right now as we speak.Another ongoing process is getting a top minor league affiliate. American Hockey League president and CEO David Andrews said in a telephone interview that there would be a 31st team for 2017-18 to even out with the NHL, although Las Vegas could take a current team or a new franchise.Foley mentioned Salt Lake City as a potential option geographically close to Las Vegas.As for the team moniker, there are plenty of Las Vegas-esque names out there, but Foley said the NHL made it clear it should have no association with gambling. Foley knows what he wants.It should represent Las Vegas, it should represent the environment, it should be unique to Las Vegas, he said. But it needs to be a name that people hear the name and say, These guys are tough, these guys are going to win, these guys are dedicated. So I need to have that kind of momentum, that kind of philosophy behind the name. Taven Bryan Jaguars Jersey .

That was his daughters favorite color.The BYU running backs coach buried 3-year-old Elsie on Saturday.As far as honoring her, its one of those things as a dad, you just try to live a good a life and honor her in that way, Mahe said.

Hug them a little more and spend a little more time with them.Mahe smiled, cracked a few jokes and seemed at ease Monday as he and his family deal with the aftermath of the accident that took his daughters life.

For the most part, we have a pretty close-knit group here, regardless. Any closer just would be a little weird. Everyone has each others back. It definitely had to touch another part of the players soul or heart or whatever. Theyve been awesome.Receiver Mitchell Juergens added, Very hard to see them go through this, but at the same time, just eye-opening how well their perspective on this whole process has been.dddddddddddd Theyre very positive people and they understand the Lords will. I think it brings us comfort knowing that hes OK.Mahe credits his familys faith for their ability to navigate this difficult time. Sunny has been active on social media, posting updates on Elsies condition and expressing gratitude for her peaceful passing. Reno said he appreciated having football as an escape at times.I do feel for my wife on that, she doesnt get to escape like I do, Mahe said. Well work through that.
