MONTREAL - The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team that will take up residence in Montreal next season will have the simplest of names - Junior de Montreal.

The name, likely to be referred to as Montreal Juniors in English, was unveiled at a news conference Monday, when the team's old-style burgundy and white uniforms were also put on display.

The St. John's Fog Devils, recently purchased by Montreal businessman Farrel Miller, is to move to Montreal for the 2008-'09 season.

"It's speaks to history and it's hard to find another name that does that," said Miller, who had the entire Fog Devils team on hand for the unveiling. "This is the No. 1 hockey city in the world.

"You don't need to be called the Lions or the Birds. We did a lot of research and most people wanted this name."

The jersey has no cartoon animals or lightning bolts like many modern hockey

It's awesome news to have a junior hockey team in Montreal again. Any idea where they'll play?

I like that they're not going to have stupid looking cartoons or logos on their jerseys. Sometimes less is more!

Check out James Mirtle's list of the 15 ugliest hockey logos. Fingers crossed clubs learn from these horrible mistakes!

They're slated to play in Verdun Auditorium, fairly close to downtown Montreal. It's 4,200-seat rink, built in the 1930s, and will undergo renovations before the team moves in.

Remember that Montreal Jr Canadiens? Hope they don't end up the same way.
