New head coach/general manager Richard Davis has quickly made his presence felt in the organization, looking to change the name of Bemidjis Indoor Football League franchise, and much more.
For a team that has had its issues, both on and off the field, in two short years of existence, Davis hopes to move quickly to make sure those days are in the past.
Aside from a possible name change a new LLC was recently created under the name Minnesota Axemen Davis started his tenure in Bemidji by making sure the teams finances were in order.

[quote=""Fran""]Makes no sense to have two teams in the IFL use Minnesota - Minnesota Axeman and Minnesota Havoc[/quote]
Like New York Giants and New York Jets?
Or Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Rough Riders (RIP)?
I don't think the people of Bemidji and wherever the other team is based are in danger of confusing one team for the other. In any case....it's the IFL, man.

Old enough to remember when bashing the ABA was fun.
[quote=""Fran""]Your right same the reason Bemidji made that change was because they had low attendance they hope the change increases that.[/quote]
I do tend to agree with that, sound more like a home team to the citizens of Bemidji but to those outside of that town it sound minor league, and it's just a really odd name to boot
