Well there might be a Kraken in Seattle. They purportedly are very elusive creatures that live in deep sea caverns.
Already looked, used to live there. Maybe you're right and there is one. Then the only mythical creatures in Seattle would be Republicans.

The Rockers. With their logo being a rock n roll guy, it won't be any more confusing than why they are called the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz moved from New Orleans. I guess Utah had just as much trouble figuring an interesting Utah-themed name for their basketball team as we do for their hockey team.

Rams and Sting names are already taken. Mind you the OHL team may allow the Sting name who knows.

Bighorns?
Mountaineers?
Alpine?

I don't see what connection Utah or SLC has to Jazz. When I think of the word jazz I think of great black musicians playing in smoke filled night clubs and Utah isn't exactly famous for those.

It doesn't have any connection to Utah. They were called the New Orleans Jazz and when they moved to Utah, I guess they just wanted to pretend there was some connection with Utah and jazz music. Who knows?

my questioned would be where would they play? I was there a few years ago and the Delta center is not suited to hockey at the NHL level
