With the Entry Draft behind us and free agency slowing down a bit, we thought now would be a good time to drop a fan favorite post to help readers get over the hump of summer. Remember back last December when we dropped our first Fantasy Hockey Team Name post? Well, we have put together another list of Fantasy Hockey Team Names for our readers to use in 2009-2010. Step outside the box a little; ditch “Go Puck Yourself” this season and use one of these bad boys. We appreciate you making Saucerpass.com a routine stop in your fantasy hockey rotation, even in the off-season, and we hope this list will add a little humor to your summer while you wait for the next hockey season to begin.

There are not that many websites devoted to fantasy hockey team names, so we hope you find this article beneficial and fun. We’ve gone old school and new school with our player choices so hopefully we’ve covered a big enough spectrum. There is also an explanation along with the team name because nothing is worse than having a clever fantasy hockey team name, having someone ask you what it means and you not having a clue. Don’t be that guy.

An interesting note about some of the names on this list below is that they were generated in a contest held by Bill of the Daily Deke (@icejunkies). The contest required Schrembs from Saucerpass, Bill and Kate (@mrshockeyrocker) to come up with fantasy hockey team names for 3 players chosen by an outside party. It was a ton of fun and we appreciate the contributions from Bill and Kate.
