International Team

North Country Lumberjacks
The 'Jacks is a helluva' name for a baseball team.
This is the name of a baseball team I envisioned for Canada, specifically Montreal and Vancouver.

I've even had thoughts of a Las Vegas-Montreal International Expos team before, whose mean geographical existence could even make for a central division alignment (somewhat logistically in justification).

But what if it dabbled in the oil field of Bakken for a visit a couple times per year?  Or a nice field of dreams setup in Pierre in the Dakotas.  Or some such.  There are a lot of ball fields in Montana.  A trip to Boise perhaps.  Perhaps this team is a Portland-Vancouver team surrounding Seattle.  There's some kind of regional rivalry for you.

Or if just a Canuck thing, maybe a more substantial visit to Portland every other month at their suburban minor league squad's house in Hillsboro?  Calling home part time (or Camp) over the border would make such a brand an international squad.

The North Country apparel is a sure sell.
