Fans Hate The Name Of The New Toronto PWHL Team
Since the leak of the names has come out several people have reacted on X. Many are not happy with the team names specifically the Toronto Torch.
whoever was in charge of naming the pwhl teams will not be seeing the pearly gates. you had a clean slate of teams with infinite naming options, and 'toronto TORCH' somehow made it past the approval stage.
Boston Wicked and Toronto Torch are just awful team names. Surely the PWHL can do better?
Many people seem to feel that the names lack creativity and originality. While these team names have not officially been announced by the PWHL they are expected to be the names eventually.
One has to wonder if the backlash to the leak is enough to get the league to change its mind on any of the names.
