Las Vegas hockey franchise owner Bill Foley would love to have a name for his expansion team, and he's open to ideas.

Three weeks after the NHL awarded a new team to Foley, he said his group is having trademark issues and wants to settle on a name quickly. After selecting George McPhee as his GM, Foley expressed some impatience at how the process has stalled.

"We have a lot of names in mind, but a lot of the ones I really liked are trademarked, so that's a little bit of an issue," Foley said Wednesday. "I'm happy to take any suggestions anyone has for a name, particularly one that's not already trademarked."

Foley is a 1967 graduate of West Point and has expressed an affinity for the name "Black Knights" as a nod to the Army. Canadian network TSN reported Wednesday that "Knights" was likely to be the name of the Las Vegas team, which will begin play in 2017-18.
