Those are the worst names imaginable. No way that's the best they could come up with.

Salt Lake City Golden Eagles from the old WHL days

Yeti was the best option

The Utah Mission (like the plot of Book of Mormon)

Just call them the Utah hockey club and use a yeti as a mascot…. Wait out the yeti cooler popularity to die down and assume it later. Teams get nicknames aside from their actual names often.

if they got rejected because of yeti brand coolers, they will definitely be shot down by the colorado mammoth NLL team

They should change their name to "Commanders."

Utah Super-Soakers

Just stick with Utah Hockey Club. Nothing wrong with that name

themow.bsky.social•33 days ago

It’s just a place holder

Yeti Coolers suck for many reasons, but this one takes the cake.

Should've been the Brine Flies smh

I do not understand the appeal of hockey club. Plus, fan votes are stupid. You’re asking a point in time group to decide your brand for possibly decades to come.

micahrumsey.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is stupid. Yeti is the best name and no one thinks the team is a cooler.

bigsizzle.bsky.social•33 days ago

I think the one that is some stupid mountain that nobody outside of Utah has ever heard of is a perfect representation for the state.

alienatedloser.bsky.social•33 days ago

Lol

theshawnmorris.bsky.social•33 days ago

Utah Hockey Club is fine they should stick with that

bob-sky-99.bsky.social•33 days ago

That's a pretty on brand nick name for a Utah team

johncorriveau.bsky.social•33 days ago

Ok np Yeti then how about Salt lake Sasquatch

tez588.bsky.social•33 days ago

Why can’t Utah use Utah Snowmen and keep the Yeti branding?

theothermikey.bsky.social•33 days ago

I'm more in favor of keeping all of the abominable snowman logos and mascots, but calling the team the "fuck your shitty ass over priced coolers" sponsored by Coleman.
