I Proposse the name of Chanhassen's old Baseball team. Check your history books, some of these guys that played on the team are still alive and going strong. What a great tribute too name the team after them:

THE CHANHASSEN RED BIRDS!!!!!!

The Maple Leaf has been Chanhassen's theme - keep it.

I could live with the "Storm," but I think the "Blizzard" would be more menacing, even scarier than a personified leaf.

Though the sketch of the Fightin' Maple Leaf is pretty menacing, I'm not too sure it would strike fear in the hearts of opposing sports teams.

Yeah, that wouldn't work. But how about Ramblin Moose?

We had a moose in town this year, too, but that doesn't necessarily mean that would be a good name. Chanhassen Plodding Moose? I don't think so.

Great idea for a forum. I like Coyotes. It's original and there are coyotes around here. You could even add an adjective like "Ramblin'" before it. Chanhassen Rambling Coyotes.
