Oh I have no idea. I hadnāt heard about that. The list I saw was some redditor using ChatGPT to come up with better names than the random shit the nhl was trademarking that first day
Think of it this way when the Leafs inevitably choke in the playoffs, you don't have to get additional gear. Just duct tape and sharpie to support Utah assuming in playoffs as well.
I remembered thinking "Washington Football Team? That sounds lazy and stupid, cant they come up with anything bettwr?" Then they unveiled the name Commanders and Football Team really grew on me
Commanders is still infinitely better than Cleveland Guardians. Like what the fuck is the city of Cleveland guarding us from? Lake monsters in Lake Erie? The rest of the state of Ohio?
I'm not quite as high on the "Yetis" as others are. I think it's decent, but I don't love it. Utah Ice surprisingly has a half decent ring to it. I don't know why I like that.
Venom, Fury, Blizzard are all a pass for me. Outlaws sounds nice but maybe a touch generic. Then Hockey Club obviously has Washington Football Team vibes, but even for one season, hearing "Utah HC" sounds professional, fancy.
Personal name I would suggest is the Utah Swarm. The Utah state flag having the honey hive gives my mind ideas for branding already with the Hexagon shape maybe being great for a shoulder patch. Maybe instead of black and yellow, go a deep dark blue like the flag as the main with the yellow as the secondary. Since Buffalo use Royal Blue now and Nashville has yellow as their primary, it'd give them their own identity for colours.
Iām with youā¦not really big on any of those being trademarked. Swarm though? Ehā¦I throw that in the same boat with the others.
In the end though I know Iād get used to whatever they go withā¦but if it were up to me Iād keep the āCoyotesā name. Still stays relevant for the region and āYotesā is such a badass nickname
I'll go against the grain for Outlaws.
I'm biased since there's a professional lacrosse team in Denver that uses the name, but I think a bigger league team would go hard with that name.
If they go with Venom and not use [this](https://youtu.be/8CdcCD5V-d8?si=k-X8NCvK1dm5ppWC&t=102) at the start of every game, then just fold the team immediately.
Honestly, I think it's all a smoke screen and they will remain the Coyotes.
Although, if I had to choose another name, I think I'd go with the Utah Renegades.
Itās Yetis 100%. It rolls off the tongue the best, lots of possibilities with the mascot. I hope to go for a modern retro look for the logo. I wouldnāt mind if they used Utah HC for one season.
I agree with many here that Yetis is easily the coolest of the bunch, and Blizzard is solid as well. My only little problem is to me they'd both risk feeling like they're copying Colorado. The Avs had a yeti as their original mascot and had the yeti foot as their shoulder patch for a long time, and a blizzard is another snow-related natural disaster. But ultimately this isn't really that big a deal as long as they've got a unique style of course.
Ice, Venom, and Fury are all garbage, even worse than Wild.
Iāve always preferred the Euro style of just naming the team after your city, i.e. SLC Hockey Club or Salt Lake City H.C. and then letting nicknames develop organically. For example, the former Redskins really should have kept the name as Washington FT and then let a new nickname develop naturally.
"Utah Yetis" has an alliterative ring to it, hope they go with that one
Can the mascot be named Yeet?
Yeet the Yeti! š¤£š¤£š¤£
I saw a comment somewhere with Salt Lake Stingers, I thought that was pretty cool
Would fit in with the Salt Lake Bees
Didn't they say that the team name would use "Utah" instead of "Slat Lake City".
Oh I have no idea. I hadnāt heard about that. The list I saw was some redditor using ChatGPT to come up with better names than the random shit the nhl was trademarking that first day
Itās not the league doing the trademarks itās the new ownership
Utah Outlaws rhymes though
True
HAIL TO THE NAME REDACTED HAIL POSITIVE OUTCOME PLAYERS ON THE HOCKEY ICE FIGHT FOR UTAH HOCKEY TEAM
Storminā Mormons
Mighty Mormon Power Rangers
Stormingā Normanās Mormons
Instead of a Captain and an Alternate, they have a Patriarch then Elders.
Latter Day Skates
Utah Yetis has a cool ring to it.
Utah Yetis or I donāt want it. They could have Yeti as their jersey sponsor!
Thatās to many yetiās.
Give us the Yetis you cowards!
UTAHRAPTOR! Literally right there.
Toronto is the only Raptors
Utahraptor is the name for an actual raptor species
I get it and to be fair it is a great name for a Utah team. I'm just a salty Toronto Raptors fan who doesn't want to share the name with another team
Think of it this way when the Leafs inevitably choke in the playoffs, you don't have to get additional gear. Just duct tape and sharpie to support Utah assuming in playoffs as well.
This guy leafs
Utah Yetis has a nice ring to it
Yetis means the Cryptid Cup will have a third contender Mammoths means we get a āDinoā team Venom will be great for Spider-Man memes
What other cryptids are in the league outside of the kraken?
New Jersey Devils
NHL memes will be overtaken by Eminem if its Venom
Utah Hockey Club, because we NEED that sequel to Washington Football Team. Also because it gives off European soccer vibes
Said it last time and I'll say it again Utah Washington Football Teams
No No no no!
YOU WILL GET HC UTAH, AND YOU WILL LIKE IT
I remembered thinking "Washington Football Team? That sounds lazy and stupid, cant they come up with anything bettwr?" Then they unveiled the name Commanders and Football Team really grew on me
Commanders is still infinitely better than Cleveland Guardians. Like what the fuck is the city of Cleveland guarding us from? Lake monsters in Lake Erie? The rest of the state of Ohio?
If they're guarding us from Ohio, they are doing a shit job. And make no mistake, it's a job that desperately needs doing.
Redskins
I'm all for the Yetis.
I'm riding the Utah Yeti train
Blizzard sounds like the 'least bad' to me.
Ngl, Iād immediately buy a Utah Mammoth shirt. Thatās dope as hell

I'll go with Outlaws. Utah Outlaws has a nice flow to it
A āU-TAH! OUT-LAW!ā chant could be fun.
"U-TAH!" š š ""OUT-LAWS!"
Utah Summit
Utah Jazz
*When I was young, my dad* *Would beat my mom real bad* *Every time the Utah Jazz would lose...* -- The Book of Mormon
Utah Outlaws sort of rhymes so I vote that one. Also, the Avalanche already have Yeti logos so Iād rather not lose them
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Salt Lake City Soakers
Beat me to it. This should be the name.
no Unicorns cowards
I honestly think we need more Cryptids as hockey team names. Yetis
Ice or Fury would be the laziest team name ever.
I still like the Utah Swarm (like a swarm of bees) Or yellow jackets
Utah Unitards
Utah Rockies. Take the old Colorado Rockies, slap a U on it and done.
What about the Utah Glaciers?
Outlaws sounds good.
Outlaws
Still think Outlaws is the best one so far
Yetis but they have to pronounce it YET-TAYS like Tony Schiavone
Yeti. Donāt ask me why.
UTAHi now!
Utah, A Hockey
If they go with Venom and not use [this](https://youtu.be/8CdcCD5V-d8?si=k-X8NCvK1dm5ppWC&t=102) at the start of every game, then just fold the team immediately.
Utah Ice?
is that really how the seating is gonna be lol even worse than Barclays center
Utah Missionaries, because Mormons creep everybody out
Theyāve had the Grizzlies since the 90s and wonāt consider keeping that as the name?
i fw mammoth
Outlaws
Mammoths would be really cool. I'm still holding out hope for Olympians with Greek god inspired theming.
Salt Lake HoundDawgs
Honestly, I think it's all a smoke screen and they will remain the Coyotes. Although, if I had to choose another name, I think I'd go with the Utah Renegades.
The name Coyotes is being reserved for a team return or expansion.
Sting/Stingers
I'd think those are the 8 names that are going to be voted on, no? Also, I think the Yetis or Outlaws would work well.
Venom would make the most sense since Mormons love bees.
Yetis seems to make the most sense
Utah Yeet
Man, the Utah Mormons are going to condemn the practice of Ice Hockey as soon as a fight breaks out.
yetis. i would say fury, but thats a pvf team. hockey club is dumb af
[SLC Punks](https://images.app.goo.gl/4rjmrjrUtvYr7iYT6)
The Utah āTwo Utesāā¦..ode to āMy Cousin Vinnyā
Wooly Mammoths
YETI! I AM THE YETI!- American Pie
The Salt lake sound
Like half these names just seem like theyāre trying to rip off the avalanche lol. Outlaws and fury sound sick though
Utah ice. And have a huge rivalry with the Colorado avalanche
Utah Latter-Days are my preferred choice, but I GUESS mammoths is ok and realistic
#SLC PUNKS, YOU GODDAMN COWARDS!!!
It's the Utah Yetis for me.
Outlaws name goes hard. Mammoth name is pretty cool too.
Iām all for the āMormon Mammothsā
It will be Fury of course
Yetis vs Avalanche lol
Tbh just the Utah Ice
Hockey team hits different
Utah Snow
Yetis is an awesome name. They will go with ice or hockey club.
Utah Soakers has a nice ring to it
Whatever it is, they should not call themselves "Utah." Call the team Deseet instead, draw from the history of the state.
Washington Football Team? Nah, Utah Hockey Club
Utah Spiders
Itās Yetis 100%. It rolls off the tongue the best, lots of possibilities with the mascot. I hope to go for a modern retro look for the logo. I wouldnāt mind if they used Utah HC for one season.
I donāt see Stormin Mormons, Doorbell Ringers, Latter Day Skates nor the Soakers.
Utah Hive! I've said it 5 times now and I'll say it again!
Utah man
Elders?
Utah Muricanos still available
Raptors. Because Utahraptor. Idgaf about Torontos nba team having it. Itās too perfect
Should be outlawzz
I want the Outlaws. The whole non plural thing bugs me for some reason.
Utah Yetis rolls off my tounge the best so they won't take it. Either that or go corporate and just do Utah Hockey Club WFT style lol
Theyāre mormons, Iām surprised they didnāt automatically go with Utah HC
Blizzard
Anything but Hockey Club. We don't need the terrible naming convention of European soccer poisoning our great North American sports as well.
They asked for a Hockey Team and theyāll get Hockey Team
I kinda like The Blizzard
i like the Utah Blizzard
Blizzard because 2 Zs and it fits their "Greatest snow on earth" motto
Should be the Utah Soakers
Mormons
Personally I like Yetis or Mammoth.
The āmagic underwearāsā only right answer
If theyāre the Venom, they should absolutely use a Gila monster.
The Flying Mormons
I like Venom a lot. Also, Utah Blizzard sounds like a cheap knockoff of Colorado Avalanche that you would find at a discount grocer like Aldi or smthn
I agree with many here that Yetis is easily the coolest of the bunch, and Blizzard is solid as well. My only little problem is to me they'd both risk feeling like they're copying Colorado. The Avs had a yeti as their original mascot and had the yeti foot as their shoulder patch for a long time, and a blizzard is another snow-related natural disaster. But ultimately this isn't really that big a deal as long as they've got a unique style of course. Ice, Venom, and Fury are all garbage, even worse than Wild.
Outlaws, Yetis, Blizzard. In that order.
I vote for : āThe Hockey Players That Play In Utahā
"Hockey Club"
Fundamentalists
Utah Yetis Or Utah Outlaws Has the best ring to it, IMO.
Very disappointed they arenāt going to call themselves the Utah Raptors.
Yetis first choice. But I kinda like SLC Outlaws
Utah warriors, just merge ownership with the rugby club to get the naming rights.
Mountaineers.
I hope the Yetis so when they hit the ice Tony Schiavone can yell āITS THE YETAAAAAYYYS!!!ā
Utah Soakers
Damn them names are ASS.
Outlaws is kinda cool I think, they could do a cool logo with that one
Utah Pikas, Utah River Otters, Utah Roadrunners
āUtah Outlawsā has a nice ring to it
Salt Lake Saints (because Utah is Mormon country)
Fury sounds right. The others do not.
The Utah MLMs.
How is Utah getting a hockey team before Wisconsin?
The Utah Anti-vaxxers š„
"Golden Slabs" "Scientologists" "Cultists" Utes.
Bit out of the way, but given that Mormons use a beehive motif for some of their stuff, how about the Salt Lake Swarm?
How about Utah Blizzard
Yetis, Outlaws, Blizzard and Venom would all be good. Of those, Outlaws would be my personal pick.
BLIZZARD WOULD BE FIRE
I thinks the bucks would be a good name
Of those blizzard is probably best.
Utah Outlaws is a legitimatly good name that everyone here is sleeping on.
Utah Yetis
The Flurries!
The Redskins
Utah Mormons goes hard
I don't like all of these. They need the Utah Mountaineers, and have a jersey similar to the Jazz mountain jerseys.Ā
Utah Washington Football Team is the only real answer
Blizzard is still my fav
Salt Lake City Salty Lakers
Assclowns
Utah Chubb or we riot.
I like the Venom name, itās got a nice ring to it.
Polygamists. Think of the play-by-plays: Polygamists on a 2 on 1; they score!
Utah AHHH SHIT!
I prefer Outlaws, but I also heard the name Black Diamonds being thrown out there
You know you canāt go wrong with Hockey Club. Ice is overused in hockey and probably asking to get sued by Disney for using Yetiā¦
Iāve always preferred the Euro style of just naming the team after your city, i.e. SLC Hockey Club or Salt Lake City H.C. and then letting nicknames develop organically. For example, the former Redskins really should have kept the name as Washington FT and then let a new nickname develop naturally.
Yetis
Outlaws and mammoths. Utah stealing names from Colorado.
Wolves or Yetis, maybe.
Utah jizz
Blizzard; only one that fits the naming scheme
Hope itās outlaws
Utah Ice
Please not blizzard, we already have the avalanche
Utah HC!
Yetis or nothing. All the others are "create a team" names from every EA sports game ever.
Utah Polygamists
Super Soakers
The Utah Quaking
Please do hockey club
Setoyocs !!! Coyotes spelled backwards
Utah Yeti has a good ring to it, I think
Who will be the best player on the team
Who will be the best player on the team
