07:48 AM ET 06.03 | Jim Balsillie hasn't decided what he would call his Hamilton-based National Hockey League club but assumes it would play in the Northwest Division in the Western Conference. The wannabe National Hockey League team owner filed a 38-page application for relocation of the Phoenix Coyotes in an Arizona bankruptcy court late Monday night.

When they say "wannabe hockey league team" are they refering to the Coyotes or Balsillie?

It makes sense to have a team in Hamilton play in the Western Conference. If they do get the team, how long before the fans and owner complain about that situation - I give it 1 year.

Let them play in the West, it's easier for the Wings to travel to Hamilton then Phoenix, they just have to go ice fishing on their day off instead of golfing.

If any of this business help discredit Bettman then please relocate that team. The quicker the better.

I think the other teams in the northwest division would have a pretty big beef about the situation too, seeing as there would be five teams spread across three time zones.

Dude, I thought the same thing! Then I thought Hammerheads sounded tougher, then realized how stupid that was, considering that Hamilton is nowhere near the ocean, etc, and finally decided I was an idiot and needed another latte... Hamilton Hammerheads indeed...

The midget will do everything he can to prevent Mr. Blackberry from ever owning this franchise. Although I agree, an impassioned owner would be wonderful.

Hamilton Hammers seems like a rather logical thing as they're in the big industrial area. I'm not quite sure how they'd display it on a jersey and not resemble the USSR flag.
