Utah team picks temporary name
Smith Entertainment Group revealed a temporary name, branding, colors and sweaters for the Utah Hockey Club, formerly the Arizona Coyotes, on Thursday after officially closing with the league.
Utah Hockey Club will be the first name of the NHL team as the permanent name is still being voted on by fans and will be announced at a later date
Last week, SEG announced it was launching the second round of its survey process to help select the name of Utah’s new NHL franchise. The first round of voting yielded six clear favorites that have advanced to the next phase. According to the hockey team, these six names are still alive in the process: Blizzard, Mammoth, Outlaws, Venom, Yeti and Utah Hockey Club.
“On behalf of the Board of Governors, I am delighted to officially welcome Utah to the National Hockey League. Congratulations to Ryan and Ashley Smith, their entire organization, the state of Utah and the fans as the Club continues its exciting march toward puck drop in October.”
