Changing from a Pack to a Pride....But Why?

During our first exhibition game I started our Wildcats out with the mind set and team identity encapsulated by the quote, "For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack". 

Well times they are a changing...slightly....I believe it was Les who whispered to me on the bench, "hey, you could have used a Lion's Pride analogy, I mean Lions are wildcats."

Right.... and so the re branding begins....

"For the strength of the Pride is the Wildcat, and the strength of the Wildcat is the Pride"

And here's why:

A Pride of big cats is basically a group of related females that are loyal to each other, usually for their whole life. They hunt together in an intelligent, strategic way that provides sustenance for the entire group. 

  

I think this definitely fits better and hopefully you can see the relation to a hockey team in there. This will be the imagery we use throughout the year to foster togetherness and teamwork.

  

Together we will be Mobile, Agile, and Hostile!
