Toronto issued a "call for inspiration" in August, asking fans from across Canada to "share ideas, hopes and suggestions" for everything from the team's name to its colours and identity. "It's really the first team name to talk about the game itself," she said. "Tempo is not about going fast or slow, it's about control. And truly, as Canadians, we're not playing your game, we're defining ours through that control."Tempo also relates to the in-game experience, from the pace of the game to the pulse of the music, said Resch."We really plan to be a team for all Canadians," she said.
Kilmer's chairman is Larry Tanenbaum, who doubles as chair of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which owns the NBA Raptors, NHL Maple Leafs and AHL Marlies, MLS's Toronto FC, and CFL's Argonauts.
