The Utah Hockey Club is still working to find a permanent name as it continues for its first season in NHL. Utah Yethis seemed to be a favorite at one point, but this is no longer an option after being rejected by the Patent and Trade Brand Service in the United States.
Instead, the hockey club in Utah comes down to the final three to change the name – the hockey club in Utah, Utah Mamut or Utah Wasach. The President of the Utah Hockey Club Chris Armstrong provided an update to the name Wednesday night during an interview with TNT.
“Good afternoon, for sure. A step forward to the name of the team, “Armstrong said. “And we obviously continued to reduce the options for naming our fans with their participation throughout this process and we are excited by the three very good options that we have now, each with our unique storylines and characteristics, and we” excited to see what in In the end, our fans are directed to this process. “
Fans of the Utah hockey club will have to vote for the team name in the next four home games, and the presenter can be the name of the team for the future. However, Armstrong warned that another vote could be held later.
“We will determine based on the results of this study what the next step looks like, whether we need to make another circle or whether we have the data we need to make a decision coming out of this circle,” Armstrong said. “And we are obviously ready to do it as fast as everyone we would like and be able to start building this brand for our fan base on Utah.”
Either way, the Utah hockey club plans to have a name before the start of the NHL season 2025-26. The Utah hockey club is currently bound to the fifth place in the central division of the Western conference with 50 points, although it is on a three -time losing series.
Overall, Armstrong is pleased with how the expansion team performs in its first NHL season.
“We really tried, as we did with naming, engage our fans, listen to this feedback, understand what we are doing well, understand what we need to do better and improve and always strive to do You provide this to the best experience here in the building, “said Chris Armstrong. “It’s electric every night. We sold the building every night. This is an atmosphere that resembles a playoff. I think this also brought the best of the teams we have played.
“We get the best of the other teams because of the energy in the building. We had a few exciting moments, we lost a few close games at home, but the fans were behind us every step of the way. “
