Utah Hockey Franchise Narrows Down Team Name Choices, Seeks Fan Input
The Utah Hockey Club, set to begin play in the 2025-26 NHL season, has narrowed down its choices for a team name and logo and is seeking fan input to help finalize the selection.
The franchise announced Wednesday that three possibilities remain: Utah Mammoths, Utah Wasatch, and Utah Hockey Club. The franchise initially considered “Yeti” but had to abandon the idea due to trademark issues.
Fan Voting process Begins at Delta Center
Fans attending the Utah hockey Club’s next four home games at the Delta Center, starting with Wednesday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, will have the opportunity to vote on their preferred name and logo.
The voting process will be conducted via iPad stations located throughout the arena. To ensure the integrity of the images, fans will be accompanied by two team employees while voting and will not be permitted to take photos.
Timing for Final Decision
While fan feedback is highly valued,the franchise hasn’t definitively stated that the vote will result in a final decision.
“This is the next iteration,” said Mike Maughan,executive with Smith Entertainment Group. “Could it be the final iteration? Perhaps.”
Maughan emphasized that these four games represent the only opportunity for fans to participate in the naming process. ”There is no other opportunity” for fan input, he said.
The franchise aims to have a name and logo in place before the start of the 2025-26 season but won’t reveal the final choice until after this season concludes.
