Arizona Coyotes are relocating to Utah as Utah HC (hockey club)

[shrader]

The team needs to be immediately folded if they go with HC.

The name they should use is so obvious; the Utah Buzz. It’s bee-related, would provide a good logo, and aligns with the Jazz.

An off the wall name is the Utah Polygamists. Their logo could be a male skater flanked by 4 female skaters.

I have a hard time accepting team names that don’t have plural names.

Singular names, State instead of city, HC?  The end is upon us. Prepare.

Utah Yeti seems like a no-brainer. The logo has the potential to be pretty sick too.

 

 

Max points for alliteration there, extra for the snow and cold reference and the originality.

Anything bee-related kinda works for me in terms of state-related and originality.

This is 100% correct. Anything without the plural sounds try- hard / trendy.

I like Avalanche. Kraken is OK.

But what about the grammatically incorrect version of those things on trees?

That’s why they fall in spring.

I hope it's something apropos to the region, like the Jazz for the NBA team.

Still say that when New Orleans got another NBA team they should've called them the "Fighting Mormons" and then asked Smith if he wanted to trade names?

Man, those are some lame names. 

Utah being the Beehive State seems like it would offer some interesting options. 

Pretty sure HC and Hockey Club are only being looked at like Washington used "Football Team" before coming up with the Commies name.  Looks like Utah will run with one or the other of those 2 this coming season and then have a real name next year.

Though Washington calling their team Football Team was actually helpful as it wasn't intuitively obvious that that's what they were just watching them play.  😉

Now that's a concept.

I like Utah Yeti or Utah HC so I hope they go with one of those.

not HC, that's just idiotic. They aren't a soccer team

I’m not familiar with the Bee connection with Utah?  How about Stingers? I suck at this though.

Of course they aren't a soccer team, and their ownership knows it.  They aren't trying to TM Utah SC nor Utah FC.  Sheesh. 

They're trademarking Utah HC.  😛

Which, btw, is, as you state, idiotic.

I don't know.  If I had a nickel for every time I went to a game without knowing which sport it actually was, I'd have a shitload of nickels.  Problem solved.

 

It's a field hockey team, right?

[shrader]

Oops, a “club”. My bad.

I like Stingers too. A call back to the old WHA Cincinnati Stingers. Utah is known for beekeeping among other things.
