WHAT.
You have GOT to be kidding me.
The Iowa Chops???
Hey, there is no pig tastier than Iowa pig, and I really look forward to having some when I visit home in a couple weeks. But let's face it. The nummy piece of pig flesh that we grill up in the summer is the only thing that should be referred to as an Iowa chop. How must it feel for one of the players to have to say, "Yeah, I was a Portland Pirate but now I'm an Iowa chop." That's right, a PIECE OF MEAT.
[Mmmm....Iowa chop.]
I stand by my assertion that the Chops is a terrible, terrible name for a hockey team. Isn't "chops" something a musician has, anyway, not a hockey player?
"We’re confident that the team will continue to gain respect in this community and in the league for years to come." Not with this name. What a joke! I'd really mock, but you know what? At least Iowa will have AHL hockey in two years, whereas the Phantoms are done after this season.
