NHL Voyageurs

Robots is another team name I wonder why no one used on the major sports level.

Robots aren't exactly known for fierceness outside of science fiction?

But think of the wicked logo they could use

Voltigeurs is french for soldier, specifically infantrymen. They were less flyer than sharpshooter. /historynerd

Sure but they could use both meanings. Like "La Haute Voltige!". lol

Voyageurs in Minnesota would be enough of a stretch for me because I'm pretty sure it would come out without the "y" or "eu" sounds that are distinctive to French.

Voltigeurs is a great name, but it would never pass muster in the US. One rendition of the Voltigeurs (there were several) was a French Canadian militia unit that principally fought against the US in the war of 1812.

Great name for the Drummondville team though, and any other French Canadian locale.

That would be even better if a US team is transfered to Quebec.
