    I think that’s how a research vessel came to be named Boaty McBoatface

  2. They will present 4 (or more) names they are okay with and vote on those. Although I would love to see what hilarious names you all could come up with.

    I really hope it’s bee-related. Of all the names I’ve heard, the bee ones are the best. Hive, Swarm, Buzz, Hornets, Wasps, Stingers. You can’t really go wrong with any of those compared to something like Yetis or Blizzard or Fury lol.

    Utah Storming Mormons!

    Natural rivals of the Carolina Hurricanes

    Letting the Internet decide is never a bright idea

    Please just have Phil Kessel somehow aligned with this team. Sign him to play, be the mascot, coach, in Arena hotdog vendor. I don’t care. I just think that we all need a little more Phil Kessel.

    Fan contests used to be how names were created.

    When you leave it up to the owners you get dog shit like “Golden Knights”

    It’s going to wind up being something stupid like blizzard, which sounds like a youth soccer team. Also it’s too similar to the Avalanche.

    Pronghorn! Look at their horns! Perfect for Utah!

    It’s gonna be something bad like the Utah Summit

    My vote is for the Utah Third Time is a Charm. This way they can borrow from the polygamy porter tagline and say because one relocation is never enough.

    Salt Lake City serpents plenty of snakes in Utah

    Golden Eagles vs Golden Knights would be a good Golden Rivalry. C’mon.

  15. Slowmexicano

    Easy way to generate buzz around the team while they go ahead with the name they already had selected.

    Can’t wait for the Salt Lake Slurs to take the ice this fall
