Did the New Jersey Devils get their name from the so called creature named the New Jersey Devil or does it come from something else?

Yes. The team’s name, chosen in a 1982 fan contest, comes from the mythical Jersey Devil, not the Christian symbol of the antichrist, according to Weird N.J., a travel guide to the state’s most offbeat attractions. The mythical Jersey Devil — with batlike wings, a forked tail and oversized claws — was said to terrorize Pine Barrens dwellers in the 18th century after being born the 13th child to poor south Jerseyans and morphing into a dinosaurlike beast. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8026775/ Feb 03 06, 9:47 PM
