Halifax begins name, ticket sales drives

The group aiming to bring a CFL team to Halifax added a little more colour to its proposal Wednesday, announcing a name-the-team contest and an initial short list of names aimed at reflecting the regional nature of its bid. Among the proposed names: The Atlantic Admirals, Convoy, Storm and Schooners. They will be considered in a contest that will be exclusive to those who sign up during a season ticket drive aimed at gauging interest in a franchise for Atlantic Canada.
