I know little to nothing about sports teams, but back in the late 90s, Seattle had a women's basketball team called the Reign. I always loved the implied pun, and it would work equally well for Vancouver...
Edited to add: while I'm providing local anecdotes that might be useful in naming sport teams, maybe Orca would work better than Killer Whale? Other local options for animals that would be good to name a team after are Sockeyes (a kind of salmon - that one might be great, as it's also aurally reminiscent of team names like the White Sox?), Sturgeons, Ospreys, etc?
