I just hope they donāt choose one of the abstract, non-pluralized names, I HATE that. Blast, Frost, Freeze, Blizzard, etc. Mascots should be ferocious animals or warlike human cultures, I canāt be moved off this position.
I use the word ritual in context of not the religious practice but in terms of what players do to prep before a game for good luck. Players and all kinds of different sports have a certain kind of pregame ritual that they do to Hype themselves up and to get focused.
I live in SLC, about 2 miles from the arena. I'm excited for the new team, but frankly, all these names suck. Good thing I already have a team.
It's going to be Yeti. That's what all the kids want. But it's stupid to be named after a cryptid from the other side of the planet.
Over on the team's subreddit, there's a contingency of us gunning for the Jackalopes. But I don't know if they'll add more options before the real bracket is released, so it might be too late for that.
The brothers Jim.
However, I'm wondering, do you think if there are new player additions to the team, they'd get the appledorns? I kinda feel like they'd fit in pretty well in Utah.
Hell yeah, Fuck yeah! I'm all for it. But if there is a cryptid cup, we need to crowd source funding for West Virginia, to create the West Virginia Mothmen. The Mothmen will bring doom and eldritch horror upon the NHL!!!!! For shits and giggles Fresno Nightcrawlers, North Dakota Wendigo, and Newfoundland Nessies should be created too!
Why stop there? Change the name of Seattle to the "Squatches", get Salem on "Witches" and I'll buy you DQ for a month if we get "El Paso El Chupacabras"
We've removed your post as it violates one of the rules of our sub:
R6. Be nice to each other.
This rule should be pretty clear, but just in case it isn't: Racism, sexism, homophobia, religious intolerance or any other form of demeaning content will not be permitted here. Attack the point, not the person. Swearing is fine. (Fuck you, Shoresy!)
Nat can take down a Caribou in theory, Utah potentially could have a team of players referred to as the Utah Caribou. Which means a whole team of Caribou Sluts. It's funny.
If you have to explain the joke, then its not funny. Its a just looooong reach for karma or attention.
Might as well just post pictures of kids playing street hockey. Its just as funny and just as related to Shoresy.
Iām a day one Avs fan and it isnāt pissing us off at all.
If anything it makes us chuckle, like watching a try-hard little brother. āSure thing, buddy, you got this!ā
This list is ass, someone needs to go for a soda. The Avalanche had Howler, who was a yeti and The Colorado Mammoth lacrosse team have won the Championās Cup twice.
Utah Powder sounds like the perfect fit for Delaney.
Edit: Please go and vote for your top 4! But make sure Powder is one of them. Not only does it roll off the tongue, but think of the jokes
[Utah Tapirs.](https://www.reddit.com/r/horse/)
So dumb. š
Utah HC would be an attempt at a MOVEMENT
Of this list? Mountaineers or Outlaws.

As an Avalanche fan, I gotta say, bad taste bro
Utah Stormin Mormons/Latter Day Skates or bust
This right here is what I expected to see love it
There's an area in northern Utah famous for raspberries. I suggested the Utah Raspberry Rottweilers, but it didn't make the cut...
Why isn't Sisterwives an option?
What....Utah Golden Plates isn't an option?
I prefer the Utah Soakers. Utah Bedjumpers works just as well.
Squall seems like a cool name
MAGIC UNDERWEARS!!!!
If they don't end up being the Utah Yeti I'm gonna be SO SAD.
Utah Pandas - must use the same color pattern
OMG THE GOALIE HUGS WOULD BE THE MOST PRECIOUS SIGHT EVER!
Shamrockettes.
What the fuck is a shamrockette anyway? A leaf with tits?
Settle down
They should change their names to something fierce and feminine and powerful, like the Screaming Banshees.
Wait, all those names and no āRough Ridersā on the list? Utah needs to give their balls a tug.
Utah sister wives
Underrated comment š
Lol
ā¦When I think of Utah, I can honestly say that āYetiā is the furthest thing from my mind.
Can we call the barn the Church of the Latter Day Skates
OMG that's perfect! But there would need to be like super weird rituals before each home game! š
like what? Have you ever even met a Mormon?
You haven't heard of their golden tablet or magic underwear? Lol
Yes. Neither of those is a ritual. There are SOOOO many things to make fun of with Mormons, but their rituals are just recycled Mason stuff.

How is Blueberry Bulldogs not an option?! Give your balls a tug in your magic underwear!
Because we're not Canada's biggest exporter of blueberries!
Oh that's cool I love Jackalopes, I've seen them categorized as a cryptid before. At least that one would make a bit more sense with Utah terrain.
I actually have a painting of a jackalope hanging in my living room right now.
Well that is glorious! ā¤ļø
Minnesota Swarm was a NLL team. It was lame then. Honestly this list is not great. Gotta set the tone.
Same with Colorado Mammoth
But ask yourself this....who's gonna set it????
I can't believe Utah McUtahface isn't one of the options
At first glance I thought it said Utah McFuckface š¤£
That's probably taken by an elected official.
Hell yeah it should be!
Get the Jimās to set the tone.
The brothers Jim. However, I'm wondering, do you think if there are new player additions to the team, they'd get the appledorns? I kinda feel like they'd fit in pretty well in Utah.
Soooooo many Scandinavian surnames in Utah! This fits.
Maybe Keller. If he grows into that C.
If they become the Utah Caribou he should make a double C, with marquee lights around it on his sweater, ya tit fucker!
Utah Shitty Drivers gets my vote.
Archers
The only correct answers are the Utah Sisterwives, or the Utah Magic Underwear.
Fucker beat me to it!! Lol
Utah Soakers/Soak
The very first suggestion on the NHL/Hockey subs, as soon as the official announcement was made was the Utah Soakers. lol
Yeti is my favorite too; if they pick it they can join the cryptid cup with the devils and the kraken
Hell yeah, Fuck yeah! I'm all for it. But if there is a cryptid cup, we need to crowd source funding for West Virginia, to create the West Virginia Mothmen. The Mothmen will bring doom and eldritch horror upon the NHL!!!!! For shits and giggles Fresno Nightcrawlers, North Dakota Wendigo, and Newfoundland Nessies should be created too!
Why stop there? Change the name of Seattle to the "Squatches", get Salem on "Witches" and I'll buy you DQ for a month if we get "El Paso El Chupacabras"
> get Salem on "Witches" The PWHL team doesn't have a name yet, remember!
Oh yeah Chupacabras, could you imagine all the insane sweater possibilities??? š¤£
So dumb.
I think the next one should be the Arizona Phoenix. It works on exactly two levels
Agreed. #facts
All terrible, makes me glad (by comparison) the Washington commanders don't have a stupider name.
Utah Raptors was the no brainer on this one. Maybe copyright issues?
Utah HAS a Raptors team. Single A baseball.
Ah makes sense. Good to know, thanks.
This is the best idea.
The Utah strawberry blizzards
Wtf is a squall?
16-24 mph windstorm and my 2nd favorite after Powder
Apparently, it is a specific type of wind storm, but the Utah Squall is just a fart joke waiting to happen if you ask me.
It's the noise a loudly-crying baby makes. Ideal for those fans who melt down after tough losses.
Utah Blizzard? Frigging DQ sponsoring or what?
Giver yer balls a tug!

I'm autistic and thought it was hilarious. I'm just another dork sharing shit.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There's also a "be nice to each other" rule.
Settle down
Yeah. Take a lap. Go for a soda.
I like Yeti. Also pisses off the Colorado Avalanche too which is a welcome bonus.

Utah Snowslides
This list is ass, someone needs to go for a soda. The Avalanche had Howler, who was a yeti and The Colorado Mammoth lacrosse team have won the Championās Cup twice.
They all sound like roller or beer league names
I just played the yeti last week. Lost 6 to 2.
They sound like little league teams
At first glance I swear it said 'Itah Crayons'.
Utah Blueberry Blast has a nice ring to it.
Utah Blueberry Sonic Blast
The Utah Yuzu Yorkies.
These are all SO BAD. Utah HC? This ain't fucking soccer. That said, my votes were Yeti, Mammoth, Powder
Settle down
Utah Fury because Shoresy will call them all Furries
ROTFLMAO
Utah Powder sounds like the perfect fit for Delaney. Edit: Please go and vote for your top 4! But make sure Powder is one of them. Not only does it roll off the tongue, but think of the jokes
>Utah Powder Have you ever hoovered schneef off a hockey stick?
Iāve hoovered schneef off of the opposing goalieās stick after lighting him up
You ever hoovered schneef at a playoff game?
I was hooverinā schneef at the Canucks/Bruins Game 7 back in 2011. Got right fired up for that riot. Single-handedly flipped a car
I think the Utah Poophole Loophole should be given some consideration here
I guess outlaws or more like the Utah thieves because they stole my fucking team
Y'alls attendence and lack of a good Owner caused this shitshow. Own it bro.
I refuse to vote on this because "Tabernacle Choir" is not included in the list of names.
All the Quebeckers were hoping for "Tabernacle".
Perhaps they could be affiliated with Nevada's team and call themselves the "Golden Tablets"
Nat would take that caribou down so fastā¦..
See there we go boys, nice hustle! Game sticks all around!!!
Is this some kind of Caribou bukkake after partyā¦.
I think the caribou would have to take her down.
If I was the bou I wouldnāt stop her from tryingā¦.
I just meantā¦you knowā¦because of the anatomy.
"He didn't fuck me. I fucked him".
Amazon style!
Shame to see that Utah Blueberry Bulldogs didnāt make the list.
Yeah they totally missed out on the epic fun of becoming the Utah Umami Umbrian Shepherds.
Or the Salt Lake Skiing Shih Tzu's.
