When tasked with creating a fresh name for a brand new squad, why not opt for something incredibly awesome, right? That’s our perspective here at NL Towers, and it appears that Vancouver’s newly established women’s hockey squad concurs. We can’t conceive of another team with a superior name than this in any sport currently. Not without a search engine, at any rate.
Moreover, it’s not just a striking name that has us eager for all of this team’s merchandise, but they’ve also dived deep into the specifics, gliding out to the Bond theme and even utilizing GoldenEye’s original N64 pause menu tunes during the intermissions in their inaugural match, as demonstrated in the clips below:

Now that’s a sleek application of Grant Kirkhope‘s legendary Goldeneye Watch theme right there!
The Goldeneyes’ inaugural game occurred in the Vancouver Canucks’ former arena, and it appears the match generated some genuine playoff excitement as well. Let’s face reality; it’s likely all due to the fact that it’s a venue packed with secret gamers who just got sparked by a brilliant needle drop.
This musical choice also eliminates any lingering uncertainty that the team is actually named after the Goldeneye species of diving duck rather than the game. Nope, this is simply straight-up, good old-fashioned video game enthusiast stuff. And we adore it. Go Goldeneyes!
Enjoying the utilization of the 007 theme here? Are there any other sports teams named after video games, rather than ducks? Let us know!
