The owners of the Saanich Junior Braves, a hockey team on Vancouver Island, say they will change their team's name and logo out of respect for Indigenous communities. Kelly, speaking with host Rohit Joseph on CBC's All Points West, said the change was not prompted by a particular controversy. The CFL's Edmonton Eskimos say they have accelerated the process of reviewing their team name following recent calls from sponsors. For now, his team will be referred to as the Saanich Junior B team until a new name and logo can be selected. "I think it will be good for our hockey team to start with a fresh set of goals and values."
