Re: Team Names – How?

From what I understand (not having been around when Team 296 was founded), the "Northern" in our name comes from the fact that our primary sponsor in 1999 was Northern Telecom (today known as Nortel Networks) and of course the fact that we're Canadian.

As far as I know, the only reason "Knights" was picked was that "Northern Knights" sounds kind of like "northern lights".
