This name is terrible



It reminds me of the movie Good Morning Vietnam when he tells Garlic to “requisition a new name.”

    It is like when the Washington NFL team was called ‘Football Team’. I personally feel that they should have the city or town instead of nickname.

    Same energy as Washington Football Team

    I’m not so sure “Yeti” which seems to be the front runner is THAT much better.

    I mean Yetis don’t even exist….in North America.

    NHL app (with some hickups) has UTAH Hockey Club,so this happens when you use 3rd party apps 😄

    It’s like when you create your own team in an EA Sports NHL game.

    Never should have been allowed to start the season without a name

  7. chumchees

    Just call it Real Utah or Sporting Utah

  8. dhj1305

    I hate it too. How about just Utah HC.

    Just think, if they were to win The Cup (which they won’t) they’ll put Utah Hockey Club on it. Lol!!!

    The fact that it’s a finalist for the actual name kind of is bizarre. This isn’t Soccer where every team is just (City) FC.

    My god, people will find anything to whine about. It’s one year while they work out their branding. Get offline and spend some time alone outside reflecting on yourself.

    Everyone needs to just STFU.

    Good thing it’s temporary, Karen

  12. letsgometros

    I feel like it’s gonna be Yetis, it could have been Outlaws tho

  13. commaZim

    They are requisitioning a new name. That’s the point of this temporary name.

  14. HardOyler

    Yeah it looks dumb but it’s only for the year. You would think someone could get their head out of their ass and have it say Utah

  15. BlockFun

    The fact we have to share a conference with such a blemish makes me sick

  16. ILikeLiftingMachines

    TBF Considering that they were the Coyotes, they have to keep reminding them what they should be doing.

  17. Unpopular opinion: the names not -that- bad. The jerseys honestly look pretty cool. I’m sure all the SLC punk/hardcore kids are stoked to have Utah Hardcore jerseys. Guarantee we’re going to see these jerseys as hip and vintage the second they get a proper, name brand. Along side coyote jerseys at Utah games or whalers jerseys at hurricane games etc…

    It sounds weird when talking about it and makes people think it’s an adult league or something not related to NHL. Also yelling “Go Hockey Club” as opposed to yelling “Go Red Wings”.

  19. It’s a farce. Like dropping the Las off Vegas. Let’s go Angeles Kings and Louis Blues!!

  20. jameslucian

    When the Blues played them the other night, I got a notification that the game was starting “Blues vs. Hockey Club starting now!” And I had to think for a second if they were doing a scrimmage against a college all star team or an international team. I was so confused for a solid minute until it clicked who Hockey Club was.

  21. AnonDuckroll

    It’s an Utah based team and owner, did you expect a shard of creativity to be present when they named it?

  22. Habay12

    It’s pretty accurate to me. Nothing terrible about it

  23. Hungry_Definition450

    I call them the Utah Mormons and will continue calling them that until a real name is selected.

  24. W_Somerset

    If it ends up being anything other than the Yeti…I’m calling my congressman /s

    They won’t give a damn bc I live in NM…but still 🙂

  25. Conscious_Break6311

    The Utah Dairy Queen Blizzards would have sounded tougher!!!

  26. jesser9

    That being said, Flames are pretty good at beating the Oilers

  27. cReddddddd

    I thought “Washington Football Team” was a bad name until the next name came along. Grass isn’t always greener.

  28. Day 479245795 of people not realizing that this is a placeholder name for this year only

  29. LAKingsFan17

    Apparently people don’t realize it’s only for this year. Next year they’ll have a true team name.
