Utah team name polling opens, list of potential names revealed

[SEALBound]

No Pucky McPuckface?

No Skatey McSkatefaces?

No Stick McStickfaces?

Utah clearly doesn't want to connect to the youth of this country.

 

[Ice9]

Conestoga(s)... souped up wagon
Frontier(s)men...buckskin clad, bearded bad ass
Steamer(s)...locomotive themed

 

[BagHead]

Most of those names are pretty rough, and as a fan of a team called the "Wild" I know what I'm talking about.

I'm really disappointed that "Punks" isn't on the list. SLC is known for two things, hosting the Olympics that one year and a movie. Lean into it.

Steamers is reserved for the next time Cleveland gets a team

 

[FinnHab]

Utah Betmanns

 

[AppreciateHockey]

Utah Peak(s) because they are going to be peaking over everybody.

I've lived through 2 Barons, a Crusaders, Lumberjacks and a Monsters. NHL aint coming back. Realized that when Barons went to Minnesota.

 

[Treb]

Outlaws, Yeti and Venom are the best.

19 inches of venom

Sorry

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Reeks of ECHL names.

I'm an SLC local. I voted for Outlaws and Mountaineers only in this first round. The "Swarm", "Fury" type names just seem out of place for the league and make us sound like a WNBA team imo. Yeti similarly just sounds like a weird comic book name that's out of place with all the other team names. I just want a normal sounding team name.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Utah Fury sounds sick.

Sounds more like an oxymoron to me.

 

[Cup or Bust]

As I looked down the list I thought to myself, find one that is not awful, unfortunately I made it to the bottom of the list and didn't find one.

 

[123offtheglass]

lets all vote for powder

Voted Yeti, Outlaws, & Powder.

I really hope it ends up Powder.

 

[123offtheglass]

Why aren't there more powders on this list, I only see 1.

I wanted to vote for my favourite but I'll just have to vote for powder in general.

 

[333359]

Crystal would be better than powder since SLC is more of a meth place. It seems dumb to let the public decide this.

 

[BagHead]

Voted Yeti, Outlaws, & Powder.

I really hope it ends up Powder.

Powder with some powder blue jerseys. I could get behind that.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Most of these sound like discontinued gatorade flavors.

Yetis is the best one IMO.

 

[ManofSteel55]

These sounds like 1990s IHL names wtf. So corny.

Hey now. They're sure no Macon Whoopee.

These are so bad that I’d rather they be named Utah HC until they can find an actual name

Utah HC actually fits Utah. Bland. (j/k, I've never been to Utah).

 

[User1996]

They all suck

 

[StreetHawk]

Utah Fury sounds sick.

Mascot Name: "Nick"

 

[Prsut18]

I like Venom, Outlaws or Swarm best.. ..just hope it is not Utah HC ...so Euroleague
I also don´t like the idea of the team being without identity for the first season, seems so unprofessional for NHL..

..I also hope for unique color scheme.. there is enough blue and red in the league

 

[JFleegs]

I voted Utah Ice because it’s so bad it’s good. Realistically Outlaws is the best name there, I don’t mind the idea of Hive but just call them Sting or Hornets.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

both of those names are Charlotte.... Hornets already is there and Sting was the WNBA Hornets....

 

[Cancuks]

Powder puffs... the softest team on ice.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Most team names suck, it's a proud sports tradition.
