February 20, 2008
TOLEDO, Ohio - Toledo Arena Sports Inc. announced that the name of the new professional hockey team in Toledo will be the “Toledo Walleye.”
The team will begin play in October 2009 at the brand-new Lucas County Downtown Arena that is currently under construction.
“There are the Biscuits of Montgomery, the Nuts of Modesto, the Lugnuts of Lansing, and of course, the Mud Hens of Toledo,” said Toledo Arena Sports General Manager Joe Napoli. “What makes these team names amongst the most popular in Minor League sports? Not a whole lot, until you develop a word mark, logo and mascot that is unique, indigenous and fun for all age groups.”
