Utah team name polling opens, list of potential names revealed

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

How does one work for a beer league hockey team?

It was the FHL (as it was known at the time). I just applied online (this was 2011) and I was helping with merch sales, ushering, tickets and a bunch of other stuff. Wherever I was needed.

I originally wanted to do radio and PR with the team because I just graduated from college with a degree in Broadcasting but that didn't materialize and I figured an internship was an internship

Team won the championship them moved the next season lol.

I see. You were calling an extremely minor league team a beer league team, basically? Such a low level of professional that it was basically rec league?

what did these utoneons choose

 

[Warden of the North]

My family decided on Mammoth, HC, Yeti, Blizzard

 

[Seedtype]

Hmm, if Merulo fails to get the land in the upcoming auction, does he still have the Coyotes branding?

Honestly, Utah Coyotes works pretty well(for me at least).

He owns the rights for * years.. so if he loses the auction, he can still look fo4 other options … not sure if there are any or not

For me

Outlaws
Mammoth
Mountaineers
Yeti

 

[featherhawk]

yikes, slim pickens...

 

[KingPuckChoo]

The Utah Squall

keep saying it until you get use to it, it ain't bad

 

[Puckrobber]

Utah Thrash.

The Jazz are smooth on the hardwood, the Thrash are heavy on the ice. Drop The Puck!

 

[Hasbro]

Flash forward 15 years. Utah HC is in game 7 with Metro Houston HC to see who will represent the West in the Stanley Cup finals against the winner of HC Quebec City City vs Atlanta HC United.

The MLS makes thousands of dollars a year. The NHL should be dying to tap into that!

 

[Chainshot]

Sadly there was no Skatey McSkateface option.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

yikes, slim pickens...

 

[Woodrow]

Sadly there was no Skatey McSkateface option.

It would be a clear winner versus the terrible names they came up with.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

The Utah Desperados

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

How they didn't even have Utah Uvulas on the list is absolutely beyond me.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I thought "Pioneers" would have been an obvious and easy choice, and yet it is not even on the list.

Some of the options there are so bad that they're tempting fate that people spam vote those options to mess with them.

 

[Victor Z]

As long as whatever they choose doesn't end with the letter 's', it's good. That's so.... 20th century.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Y'all know it's gonna be Yeti.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Utah Coyotes.

Nickname Utah Yotes.

I mean better than that list!

There's a pack of coyotes in the small forest across the street from my house, pretty sure they got coyotes in Utah.

Utah Red Rocks?

 

[HF007]

Utah Caribou doesn’t feel expansion team, but I think caribou are more Canadian/nordic.

Utah Venom/Swarm are badass too.

Anything ice/frozen is cliche.

Outlaws could work too but I don’t trust these design firms to make it not come out cheesy.

 

[jj cale]

what idiots come up with these names?

 

[sr edler]

Are there any raccoons in the surrounding area?

 

[BurntToast]

I went with Outlaws. Why are only half, the names plural. Utah Yetis ok, but Utah Yeti, sounds weird.

 

[The Management]

I like the Utah Swarm.

Black Diamond just reminds me of cheese.

 

[JianYang]

Utah yeti rolls smoothly off the tongue.
