Utah Hockey Club down to final 3 names: Hockey Club, Mammoth, and Outlaws (upd: Wasatch already nixed)

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I kind of like the Hockey Club, but all sound not bad to me

 

[FrolikFan67]

Hopefully Wooly comes out better looking than Buoy

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Would go for Mammoth because of logo and merch purposes.

 

[eviohh26]

When you google wasatch. It gets even worse. What a stoopid name.

 

[ijuka]

All 3 names are trash, but Mammoth is the only one that sounds like a proper hockey team.

"Hockey cringe" is akin to naming your fast food chain "Restaurant."

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Mammoth will win.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

HC is so stupid. Keep that shit in soccer just like their stupid diving. Mammoth it is then.

I'm disappointed it took this long for someone to make this reference... not as disappointed the HC is still in the running, but disappointed none the less.

...I was debating doing it earlier, but it seemed too "low hanging fruit"...then I had another cup of coffee (it's almost 1:30 am here) and said what the fark, "low hanging fruit" it is...

I got this:

“According to Utah Native-American expert LaVan Martineau, the word "Wasatch" means frozen penis! On page 186 of Martineau's well-researched book on Utah indian legends, lore and language he records: "Wasatch -- the name comes from the Paiute and Ute Indian phrase pronounced Wuhu'Seai, meaning Frozen Penis.”

Best. Pro. Sports. Name. Ever.

...I change my vote!!!...WASATCH it is!!...

 

[Nemesis Prime]

If they keep hockey club they should have their team revoked and relocated.

Then their PK could be called shrinkage. Do it Utah. I double dare you to.

 

[Devilmademedoit]

I still say call them the Beavers

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...with this new tidbit of news, the Winnipeg Jets and the Utah Frozen Penis have to change names...cuz if you're ever gonna get a frozen penis, Winnipeg is probably the place it happens...

Not an issue. We wear fleece boxers here.

Just wait until they release ideas for a logo!

 

[SensFactor]

100% Mammoth for the various merchandising and logo designs they can sell to adults and kids.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Just wait until they release ideas for a logo!

...just leave room on the front of the jersey for it to "expand" when winning...

 

[JoVel]

Why not stick with the Hockey Club at this point? At least it would be unique. Mammoth, eh. No idea what a wasatch is.

 

[Brent Burns]

No Utah Raptors got my brain in a pretzel rn

 

[Drake1588]

The only one left that is remotely cool is Wasatch, and I haven't heard anyone else support it (limited sample size, I suppose). Local regional ties, it's fun to say, and you can see the mountains right from SLC. It's like calling a sports team the Rockies.

I'm fine with it. I thought Yeti would have been OK too.

Mammoth is going to be the 'Kraken' of expansion goofball names.

 

[wolfgaze]

Edit: just got up to speed and see that Outlaws is no longer an option.

The options are not great.

Announcer: " *whistle* Too many Hockey Club / Mammoth / Wasatch on the ice!"

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Hockey Club is so boring and uninspired, but dude owns an NBA team and that league knows boring and uninspired. Wasatch is a stupid second, but not as bad as HC. Mammoth is really the only legitimate option that would allow for a decent logo set.

I'd prefer the pluralized Woolly Mammoth's though. That would be awesome.

 

[ItWasJustified]

At least it would be unique

Except that there are probably 20+ Hockey Clubs in European hockey.
