[edit] Earlier franchise history

I think this account needs the story of the St Catharines teams--the Teepees fed a lot of stars to the original six NHL!! Bacl-presby 01:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

This is already on my to do list. Flibirigit 01:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Pages for all St. Catharines teams have been completed. Flibirigit 18:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Looks good!! Bacl-presby 21:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saginaw Spiri Alumni

The extensive list of former Spirit players has grown so much that is has been given its own article at Saginaw Spirit Alumni. Flibirigit 18:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I had an idea,,, perhaps create a category

Category:Saginaw Spirit alumni, and add the tag to the bottom of each player's bio. I've just done that for the 'Saginaw Spirit players' category, and know it's been done this way for other OHL teams. or, maybe I'll get to it myself later :) ColtsScore 14:40, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

In general, Wikipedia does not consider current junior players notable, except for top prosprects, or other newsworthy events. Flibirigit 03:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured on the Colbert Report. get ready.

Hahahahaha. It's amazing the amount of power a celebrity has. In less than a minute, the pages was vandalised three times. Get ready for alot more. Comedy Central repeats the episode three more times, and that doesn't take into consideration all the other shows that he'll mention the "Colbeagle". dposse 03:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mascot's Name

The team's mascot is named Sammy Spirit, an eagle. For the 2006-07 season (the team's fifth), they introduced a second mascot, a mini-eagle, who is named Steagle Colbeagle The Eagle. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.163.2.8 (talkcontribs).

More vandalism has resulted from this comment. Flibirigit 03:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
It's not vandalism if it's true. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.208.15.110 (talk • contribs).
Find a reliable online source to that fact. A satirical news show is not reliable. Flibirigit 04:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. The name was mentioned on this talk page on 2 October, before the show aired. Just because the show aired before the edit, dose not mean the edit was done because of the show. Meanwhile, attempts to log into http://www.saginawspirit.com/home are being thwarted, probably because many people are indeed trying to source the fact. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.208.15.110 (talk • contribs).
Then we wait for the source. Truth is never in a rush. Flibirigit 04:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Touche. Point taken. Although, I think there's a difference between vandalism and simple carelessness. It sounds more pejorative. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.208.15.110 (talk • contribs).
Yep, it's true. It's on their website. I personally liked the references to the Ottawa 67's :-D -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Section reinserted, with references. Flibirigit 04:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Source that it is indeed named Steagle Colbeagle: [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.31.89.120 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Merge with Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle

The information in the Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle article is almost exactly the same as the information in the mascot section of the Saginaw Spirit article. It seems silly to have two articles with identical information. --Ddawn23 05:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
