Nichushkin to Utah confirmed

Because when I think of hockey, I think of a cooler that requires a reverse mortgage to generate the funds required to afford said cooler.

You think of Howler, as all amazing hockey fans should.

Before Bernie, there was Howler: The story behind the Colorado Avalanche's original mascot

Before Bernie entertained fans at Avs games, there was an abominable snowman named Howler.

Yet they let "Stanley Cups" be made and sold to 90% of young women?

You’d think they could come up with something more local than Yetis.

Maybe Utah should come up with a less stupid name. I mean just go with Raptors. The Utahraptor was the largest raptor species that we know of. It's right there.

Utah Beavers.

I think they had "Hive" referencing the state flag.

I've been saying that all along. A mythical beast from the Himalayas has nothing to do with Utah.

Shame they had to leave "Coyotes" in Arizona. Utah Coyotes sounds just fine to me.

the Utah Hockey club sounds vintage and i would just keep ot

They want the name to sound decent.

Then how the f*** did the NHL lose the stanley cup thing? There are many people who bought it thinking it was linked to the NHL

Let me guess, you’re not a big basketball fan?

If you really want to go down that path, then the Winnipeg Jets shouldn't exist either as the earlier established and much better supported New York Jets exist. Edmonton Oilers came after the Houston Oilers. Rangers F.C. came before New York. Sacramento Kings share the name with L.A. Kings. I'm sure there's even more obvious ones I'm missing.

Anyways, I don't know the particulars but that franchise (and its history) is cursed as hell. Wonder how the Coyotes' fanbase feels.
