Mayor Thinks Of Millrats Name

Even the Mayor is getting in on the naming competition for the Saint John Millrats.

The pro basketball team announced a name competition late last week to find a name that fits the city and put forward five options for the public to choose from.

But Mayor Ivan Court has come up with his own original name of "The Port City Saints."

He even has some ideas for the team's mascot, suggesting something with a halo or a knight in shining armour.

The five official voting options are The Saint John Millrats, The Saint John Fog, The Saint John Riptide, the Saint John Fire, and the Saint John Shamrocks.
