I asked chatgpt and it gave me a better list:

1. Utah Grizzlies
2. Utah Pioneers
3. Utah Blizzard
4. Utah Raptors
5. Utah Thunder
6. Utah Outlaws
7. Utah Avalanche
8. Utah Eagles
9. Utah Mountaineers
10. Utah Coyotes
11. Utah Peaks
12. Utah Rush
13. Utah Icehawks
14. Utah Stallions
15. Utah Timberwolves
16. Utah Lynx
17. Utah Renegades
18. Utah Miners
19. Utah Mustangs
20. Utah Trailblazers
I mean, many of these are nba teams and other sports teams already so you can cross those off the list. Lol

Utah Blizzard...sounds corny but it works

And they'd have a logo in place from the get-go!

I thought i head somewhere on NHL radio, that they might not have a name picked by next season. So this would make sense if that is the case.
Yep. Their upcoming 2024-2025 season was always going to use a generic UTAH as a placeholder while their agency of record comes up with branding/colors/jersey designs. The NHL and new owners have stated from the beginning that 2025-2026 season will have the team’s new official name.

As a new team/franchise, you wouldn’t want to rush these things if you don’t have to.

I'd be interested in hearing the criteria for "non silly" names.
Anything online that's is negative about the names suggested is generally followed by either: 1. No suggestions of better names or 2. Names that are basically no different than what's already been proposed

Personally, I like Utah Swarm. Call the arena the Hive and the AHL team the Hornets…But, based on the proposed logo colors of; ice blue, white and black…. it’ll likely be Yeti or Mammoths…2 things no one thinks about when they think about Utah


Maybe go with Road Runners… since in the end, the Road Runner beat the Coyote…plus if..IF..Arizona brings back the Coyotes, it’s built in rivalry and marketing for games… play the cartoon on the scoreboard before the game and the theme song at home games

After going through all those I'm starting to think I just don't really like the name starting with "Utah" :laugh:

Utah Mustangs is pretty good though IMO
