South Shore Shooters


So anybody who thinks that a good nickname for a Gary, Indiana based sports team would be the Shooters, please raise your hand. Seriously, Andrew Haines and the rest of you team owners, you can put your hand down - you don't count.

And don't go defending it by telling me that it honors the local casinos, either. That's almost as bad as it's other connotation.

Wait, it's not actually in Gary? It's in Dyer, 10 miles away? Well that makes it soooo much better.

Oh yeah, and while we're at it, Dyer - enjoy your half season of ABAish hockey. Good luck with Mr. Haines there. He's never burned anybody.

Doesn't anybody do research before investing in sports franchises anymore?

Team: South Shore Shooters
League: Mid-Atlantic Hockey League - What a joke
Location: Dyer, Indiana - the greater Gary area
Arena: Midwest Training & Ice Center

What are you trying to say. If your trying to further your hockey career this is not the team or the guy--A. Haines. Elaborate and show your facts. This could save alot of people money and deceptive pracitces.????

Greater Gary area?! We're in the Chicago-land area, though we real Chicagoans don't use that term.

It has dice on it, not guns. No one wants to bring up Gary in their ads, so you're way off there.
