What Should we name the Salt Lake City Team? (Mod: stop with the religious comments)

[Islanders1932]

Utah Yeti or Utah Blizzard

 

[TkachukNorris79]

Utah Yeti just sounds so right.

 

[Soundgarden]

Already famous for being the leading city in Jazz music, I was thinking about the Salt Lake City Rock and Roll. Their chant can be based on the Jefferson Starship song we built this city.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Utah Blizzard

 

[Petey O]

Utah Pioneers has my vote.

 

[Islanders1932]

Utah Yeti just sounds so right.

Love it!

 

[Omni Owl]

Salt Lake Sodium
Utah Utopia
SLC Zygotes
Utah Uranus

 

[Groo]

Just keep the name the Coyotes

 

[HighAndTight]

Let's just cut to the chase, Utah Caucasians.

 

[disgruntleddave]

The Utah Saltines

 

[Number8]

Salt Lake Shakers

 

[KevinRedkey]

If 'Rams' wasn't associated with the NFL, I'd say that. Then again, the Rangers and Giants are used more than once, so it's not like it's unprecedented.

Big Horn is a solid alternative though.

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Salt Lake City Nordiques

 

[kingsfanman]

HC Locomotive Salt Lake

 

[Stanley Thermos]

But....why? There are no Grizzlies in Utah.

There used to be. Like many regions of the US Intermountain West, they were completely hunted out of the area.

This is just one example: Old Ephraim.

 

[Marty Party]

Utes

Good answer. Second time in two days I've learned something on HFB.

 

[Sniper99]

New? didnt know SLC was officially getting a team name too.

IF Arizona finally does get moved, and its there, keep it simple. Coyotes.

 

[Malaka]

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

Utah Beavers

West salt lake is under a lot of development. It’s honestly a wasteland but that’s where money is commercially… my opinion is it should be sat between salt lake and summit park on the way to park city.

in Parleys Canyon?

You do realize i-80 gets shut down multiple times during hockey season because of snow.

Additionally its a fairly pristine wilderness/ outdoor recreation area with great backcountry skiing and hiking .

Locals would riot and it would be a scar on the landscape

if you mean by Millcreek Canyon , theres no land and the road infrastructure isnt there either.


Downtown/ Rosepark/ Sandy/ Draper are the most obvious places for the new arena

 

[cptjeff]

Salt Lake City Canyons would be my bet.

I’m just saying as an idealist, it would be a nice setting. Not feasible.

For the love of god please don’t put that arena in Sandy/Draper. I’ll riot

 

[brentashton]

SLC I-15 Really Long Drives

 

[bb_fan]

Fellas

Lets be adults here and respectful to the folks in Arizona .

Here are my top choices IMO as a part time Utah resident.

1. Grizzlies- Sick Jersey/ Logo plus they could have Jazz Bear show up for games as part time mascot
2. Golden Eagles
3.Miners/Prospectors - The wasatch mtns , particularly Park City and Alta were founded as mining towns. It also doesnt really have any divisive LDS connotation
4. Raptors or something Dino themed- this tracks: Dinosaur NM , tons of paleontology throughout the state

5. Could be something skiing themed/ in reference to “The Greatest Snow on Earth”

6. Lakers (GSL, Lake Powell). Utah is a big Lake State

7. Something canyon related- No state can come close to competing with Utah in terms or Canyons. Utah is the Canyon State

Not sure what a good name for an AHL team would be at this point.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Salt Lake City Golden Eagles.

The Golden Eagle isn’t associated with Utah, I don’t think. How about we go with the state bird? The Salt Lake City California Gulls?
