The three-time holder of the Stanley Cup for the New Jersey Devils hockey club is proposed to change his provocative-anti-Christian name. According to the BBS , a politician from the city of Newark named Craig Stanley made a similar initiative, according to the initiative. He decided to conduct a bill through the state’s legislative body, according to which a team, “using the devilish attributes for marketing,” should be renamed.
Whether the “devils” will become “angels” or at least “exemplary parishioners”, the state residents must decide, according to Stanley, who is the deacon of the Baptist Church in the city where the Devils home matches will begin to hold their home matches in the new ice arena.
Meanwhile, horns and tail on the emblem of the "devils" from New Jersey do not belong to the prince of darkness at all. The team got its name because of the mythical character, the Newspersian devil. According to legend, in the XVIII century, a 13th child was born in a family of poor people in the south of the state, who gradually turned into a terrible creature with weeded wings, claws and fangs and terrorized the entire district.
With this name, the team won three Stanley Cups, and was awarded the traditional presidential audience in the White House three times. Before Craig Stanley, it never occurred to anyone that the goalkeeper Martin Brodo, perhaps, protects the gates of hell.
Few people liked the proposal of a Christian politician. Both the governor of the state and the owner of the team have already made it clear that there would be no renaming. The General Manager of the Devils La Lamorello said as he cut off: "We have more serious problems."
Indeed, the new season is not far off, but the player’s union and the NHL leadership did not come close to understanding. It is likely that the second season in a row will be ripped off, which means that the league will thunder to the underworld, regardless of the satanic name of one of its clubs.
