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

Utah HC

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.

It’s only for one year bud.

This post is terrible.

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.

it’s growing on me tbh

Never should have been allowed to start the season without a name
chumchees
Just call it Real Utah or Sporting Utah

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!!!

It’s just for one season
Shiny_Mew76
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

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

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

It’s a placeholder

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

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

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

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”.

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

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.
AnonDuckroll
It’s an Utah based team and owner, did you expect a shard of creativity to be present when they named it?
Habay12
It’s pretty accurate to me. Nothing terrible about it
Hopeful_Air_7956
I completely agree
Hungry_Definition450
I call them the Utah Mormons and will continue calling them that until a real name is selected.

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 🙂

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

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

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

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