I'm going to straight up murder someone if it's the Yeti. Kraken was already bad enough, but the effin' abominable snowman has NOTHING to do with Utah, let alone the US. Unless they're already planning for an eventual relocation to Katmandu.
I believe there are no Penguins in Pennsylvania, and no Kings ever in history in California or even NA, if I'm not missing something
@Rybread86 Golden Eagles would be bad bc of the name length AND Golden Knights name similarity

Oh I agree. I dont like Golden anything. I still think its a dumb name for Vegas. But Utah has history with the Golden Eagles and hockey. I hope they go with something else, but Ive heard Golden Eagles now from Utah residents and reporters as a top suggestion.

Dallas Stars become Dallas Rangers because there actually is Texas Rangers in Dallas.
New York Rangers become New York Kings (King of England once ruled over it).
Los Angeles Kings become Los Angeles Stars - since well they got all that hollywood stars walk of fame.

Salt Lake City Yetis!!!! Just because.
Salt Lake CIty Outlaws?
SLC Hives?
SLC Seagulls? Weirdly enough it is the state bird of Utah.
I do hope they go away from the Coyotes. Leave that name in Phoenix.

iirc, Vegas had to add "Golden" b/c the OHL's London Knights prevented a Vegas Knights moniker.

Salt Lake Miners ? Cause of the Salt Mines. When they are getting rowdy their PBP guy will say 'The Miners are getting Salty eh'

Immediately makes me think of The Ramones and 'Eh Oh Lets go"
Which brings me to another team name idea: Salt Lake City Punks, reference to the movie SLC Punk lol starring Tustin native Matthew Lilliard.

Sure, we can add them to the soon-to-be Arizona Shingles and Atlanta Bunions.
Which was weird too because I think the owners other businesses are named "Black Knight"... but I remember there being issues around that too
Wrong hives lol
I could see Stingers working too.
oooo Murder Hornets!

Another team name with Golden in it would suck. So no thanks to the Golden Eagles.
Missed opportunity for an "Atlanta Rashes" joke.

The Utah Polygam.......errrr....nevermind.
I would love Utah Yetis just for the comedy and Canadian Outrage.

Utah has had other hockey teams, Golden Eagles, Grizzlies. Known as the Beehive state. Lots of snow and known for its skiing. Lots to play with.
The Utah...

Hive
Lumberjacks (Jacks)
Ice Dogs
Bighorns
Double Blacks (Double black Diamond ski slopes - expert only)
Cutthroats (State fish, cutthroat trout)
Quakes (State tree, quaking aspen)

I believe those are just preliminary ideas they've reserved. They're going down the Kraken route of asking local fans for suggestions and charting their opinions on possible names and branding ideas. If the locals say those names suck, they'll probably end up picking something else.
Blizzard would work, though, honestly. Pairs well with the Avalanche already being another Rockies team.
