What could have been? In 1995 in our "Name the Team Contest," there was a submission for the new hockey team to be named the "Flying Toasters."
Tonight we take a look back in time of "What Could Have Been."

Ugh, I want one so bad.
I love that we’re the Griffins, but I would hype the *crap* out of cheering for the Flying Toasters
This is amazing
LGR would approve
This is sweet. I grew up in the GR area and remember my elementary school had us give suggestions for the team name. Don’t remember what mine was, but I love the nostalgia and memories from seeing this.
For those too young to remember, « [Flying Toasters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjlusi_h_XA) » was an After Dark screensaver back in the mid-90’s.
Damn where can I buy one of those jerseys? Fuckin sweet would definitely rock that at beer league 😂
#FLYING TOASTER NATION, STAND UP, STAND TALL AND STAND PROUD.
This is so wild
Legit hope we can use Flying Toasters for our eventual PWHL team
Man they were giving out free jerseys too. Wish I would’ve known about this.
The color scheme is so good.
