Moose Jaw Metorites (Canada)
The Meteorites are one of three highly accomplished Quidditch teams to come out of Canada.
In the 1970s, they were threatened with disbandment owing to their persistent practice of performing post-match victory flights over neighboring towns and villages while trailing sparks from their broom tails.
The team now confines this tradition to the pitch at the end of each match and Meteorite games consequently remain a great wizarding tourist attraction.

Moose
The species Alces alces is called the moose by North Americans (a name derived from Eastern Abenaki moz) or the elk by Europeans. Alces alces is the largest existing member of the deer family Cervidae, distinguished from the others by the palmate antlers of its males. These antlers are unique in shape, having a more cup-like shape as opposed to the common twig-like figuration of others in the deer family.It should be noted that in North America, the name elk is given to the second largest species of deer - an animal also called the wapiti.
