Pro Team Names That Don't End In An "S"

[SetBuilder]

Watching the Heat vs. Thunder made me realize that the Heat, Jazz, Magic and Thunder are the only teams in the NBA that don't end with an "S".

MLB - White Sox/Red Sox (although it is pronounced Socks, which does end in an "S")

NFL - None

NHL - Avalanche, Lightning, Wild

MiLB - Excluding teams that end in "Sox"; here are the teams in Minor League Baseball that don't end in an "S":

Visalia Rawhide
Missoula Osprey
Greenville Drive
Winston-Salem Dash
Bakersfield Blaze
Ft. Myers Miracle
Trenton Thunder
Altoona Curve
Lake Elsinore Storm

There are probably a few more in the NCAA.

evidently a mistake has been here listing the miami heat as a team that doesn't end in S as the President of the United States, Barack Obama welcomed the "Miami Heats".
