I have always been on the Mammoth train. I always thought it was the best one. I could have lived with Yeti, it’s not great but I wouldn’t be embarrassed to wear that shirt. Yeah, all the other options were/are rough. Especially the new Wasatch option. It would be one thing if we were “the mountains “, but what it really is is a reimagining of a mythical creature (basically the Yeti design and marketing packaged in a trademark friendly way) I can hear my mom now “Bibeloply is the same game as Monopoly, and it was cheaper. Why can’t you enjoy the gameplay equally?”
@@jejsemin33 In North America, maybe. However, Inter Milan and AC Milan are boring in that same way, nobody bats an eye there. I personally like European naming conventions, I would love it if we did them here. UHC is only bad because nobody else does it that way.
Last night I was at the Utah Pittsburgh hockey game and they let us fans vote on the 3 names and logos that the team will be using. You had to give them your phone while you voted on a iPad and got see the new logo for the Utah hockey Club, Wasatch and the Mammoth. The logo for the hockey club and Wasatch are the same design while the Mammoth is a completely different design. The logo we got to see is the logo they would have used for the Yeti if they could have gotten that name. Very good looking logo for both designs. The next 3 games fans at the game get to vote for their favorite. Colors of the logo and uniforms are the same as they are now. The team is going to use the Yeti Logo and Merch if the fans pick Utah Hockey Club or the Utah Wasatch
Mammoth is the runaway winner for me. I like the word Wasatch, I like what it means, but it just doesn't sound like a hockey team name to me. Mammoth offer some awesome logo and jersey design opportunities. I'm just glad it wasn't 'Utah Yeti' like they seemed destined to be at some point. Yetis are cool, but the name just lacks the 'oomph'.
@@jimlittle5769 Yeah, saw that earlier today. My vote still goes to Mammoth. I don't dislike the name Outlaws, but it feels a little generic/minor league-ish. It's in the same category as Wildcats and Renegades.
I don't understand the Colorado Mammoth thing. That's never mattered for sports teams. Carolina/Florida Panthers, Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals, LA/Sacramento Kings, NY/Winnipeg Jets, NY/Texas Rangers, SF/NY Giants. Plenty of teams share names - especially when they're in other sports/cities.
Ironically the NLL also have two teams that currently share names of teams in other sports: Vancouver Warriors and Halifax Thunderbirds. No one seems to be upset about that though. That's also just looking at more notable leagues. Glancing at some other names looks like half the league is using names other sports have used
Not to mention if you're old like me, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Ottawa Roughriders in the same league, the CFL, at the same time. Tres weird.
@KevynKing I found it weird how much trouble the Golden Knights had with their name, because of a junior team in London, Ontario. Same sport, I guess, but not even a pro team. Times are changing with trademarks, maybe?
Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Ottawa Rough Riders. I remember that and in a 9 team CFL league. No imagination there. Only difference was that Ottawa had their name separated.
Thanks Shannon! Utah resident here: I REALLY hope the team doesn't stay with Hockey Club. I'm pulling for the Wasatch, but wouldn't be disappointed in the Mammoth either 🤷♀️
Can I get a summary of why you like Wasatch? I've never been to Utah, as close as I got was Vegas so I didn't know anything about Wasatch until this announcement. From an outside perspective the name doesn't flow well to me, it's not very recognizable, and idk how you market a specific mountain everyone is just learning exists. Definitely open to a local perspective though.
@@AnEnemyAnenome I prefer it mostly because it is uniquely-Utah. I get that the Utah Wasatch isn't as catchy as Colorado Rockies - for example, but I think it will stand the test of time better than yeti or mammoth.
@@utahguildstudios look at the marketing though, we wouldn’t be the mountains, we would be trademark friendly rebranded Yetis. I personally do not want to have my team name be the store brand Cheetos.
It is weird that the company Stanley were able to use it for cupwear/ bottle. No one‘s confusing football team names with car names either the Jaguars, Chargers, Broncos. No one is confusing New York Rangers, Texas Rangers, Winnipeg Jets, New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, St.Louis Cardinals, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Kings, no one confused the Edmonton Oilers with the Houston Oilers, Carolina Panthers, Florida Panthers. I didn’t care too much for the name yeti for a hockey team, but it’s even worse for cooler company.
Looks like Wasatch is out due to the Smiths Group listening and Outlaws is back in. So Mammoth, Hockey Club and Outlaws. Not sure what that means for last night's votes, if Mammoth and Hockey Club have a huge head start or if those votes are nixed.
Living in Salt Lake City, Yeti was the consensus top choice with most people here, mainly because it was the first best option. As time has gone on mammoth had definitely gained some ground. Also the first Mammoth fossil in North America was discovered in Utah, soo there's that too.
Mammoth has to be picked. So many ways to design the logo. You can design the face with the tusks...or even a Mammoth foot like in the Ice Age movies be dope!!
Out of all the choices left, Mammoth is the best name. Team USA has a lot of options for captain and for Canada its gonna be Crosby. Not surprised that Barkov and Hedman are captains for Finland and Sweden
Utah should have just saved us the time and named the team the Mammoth. The other two are horrible. I get the Trademark issue messed things up for some of the names, but I actually really like the name Utah Mammoth. I think you could have a really cool jersey with the light blues and a Brown/Tan Trim.
I think Mammoth is going to take it, but they dropped Wasatch (thank goodness) and swapped in Outlaws. I was an early Outlaws enjoyer but Mammoth has grown a lot on me so I'll be pleased to see either take it down.
If I’m not mistaken, the Coyotes name is still under trademark, and technically Utah is a new franchise, not a move, they just got the players. I have a feeling the coyotes will be back within the next 5 years with another expansion. I could be wrong though.
@@nathanens8806 Actually, I'm pretty sure it was a "move" but Utah decided that they wanted their own "new history" and that would also leave the opportunity for the Coyotes to keep their history if they ever get another team in Arizona.
Ultimately the Utah name should be something that the locals can appreciate. I'm not one of the locals, and I'm not crazy about the 3 choices available. Just don't lose the current color combo, and that neat jersey. I guess the 4 Nations should provide some fun, but I will be looking forward to resumption of the regular season, just like I do every year when some all-star variation comes around. What's up with the Hawks? All of a sudden, they are playing like an NHL team.
According to a news report I saw today they've decided that they made a mistake with the Wasatch option and going forward the three choices will be Utah Hockey Club, Mammoth, and Outlaws. I prefer Mammoth over Outlaws, but I agree that Outlaws is a better choice than Wasatch.
I went down the rabbit hole to see what Utah is most known for. Jello kept coming up. Jello is the States favorite dessert. So, it's the Utah Jellos for me 😂
Mammoth is a good name I think. If it were up to me it would have been Bighorns, Elk, Trout, Bison, or Aspens. All animals, or in Aspen’s case plant, that can be found in our mountains. Mammoth is still solid, they are native to Utah, or at least whatever you would classify Utah as 10000 years ago. Also paleontology is an important field of study here. Dinosaurs in particular put us in the map.

Thanks for the video! Good info, details, and insights! My guesses for tonight include Jets, Wild, Caps, Kings, Blackhawks, Flyers, Flames, Oilers, Knights, and Kraken. Good luck, everyone! I like Mammoth too. Good choices for captains. Jagr is now and always will be a god. Kraken have the wrong Fleury.
I personally think Outlaws was the best one at the start (besides Yeti) not sure why it disappeared if it wasn’t also trademarked. That western/Cowboy motif fits Utah
The Outlaws band refused them the trademark, no doubt. Which is why this “refusal” is a load of crap. You’re telling me NOTHING else is associated with a generic name like Mammoth? Yeti is totally different, and YETI is that stupid cooler dump, not “Yeti.”
For those wondering, Wah-Satch is the proper pronunciation. It would be a terrible name, pronunciation aside, no one other than locals would know what it meant... I was hoping for Outlaws but will settle for Mammoth, which was my 2nd choice.
My choices from the beginning were, in order: Yeti, Blizzard (with a Yeti logo), Outlaws, Swarm (the fans could have been The Hive) and Mammoth. So I'll be voting for Mammoth. The name Wasatch would just be terrible, though they could still put a snow covered Yeti as a logo.
As long as it's not the complete-lack-of-identity name that is Hockey Club, I'm okay with either of the other names, though Mammoth would forsure be my choice. I don't mind Wasatch, especially since it'd be a Yeti logo, but it'd just be hard to explain it over and over to people.
Why haven't they considered Swarm? They could have built a whole culture around the beehive state, even nickname their barn the Beehive. Utah's young dynamic forward group are capable of swarming offensive attack's to back it up as well. O'Brien had it right away saying "he couldn't wait to get the Delta arena buzzing"
Those name choices absolutely _reek_ of “We’ve already decided on Utah Mammoth - even got the logo and the mascot design finalized and everything - but we want to give the fans the illusion that they picked the name, so we’ll let them vote for it alongside two absolutely awful options that nobody in their right mind would ever willingly choose.” It’s quite possibly the most perfect example of the illusion of free choice that has ever existed.
Not quite it's we name ourselves Wasatch and use a "mythical snow creature" as the logo and keep trying to get yeti for 2026-27 or we chose Mammoth as it was another highly liked name or we just leave it at UHC for another year while we figure out our naming
Utah Honeybee's or Bees and calling the fanbase or arena the beehive was the best idea that didn't make the cutoff. That final list isn't even real, Mammoth is the only passable remaining option
@@MrBOuelletteIt’s a minor league AAA team in SLC. We are wondering if Utah gets an MLB team if they will transfer the name. This is because the Miller group that owns the AAA team are actively pursuing an MLB franchise. The Millers are the former owners of the Utah Jazz. They sold the Jazz to Ryan Smith who now also owns the Utah hockey club.
Bonneville's not too far from Salt Lake City, and it's known around the world as a speedy place, but I never saw any Utah name being considered that took that connection into consideration, which is surprising because in hockey they always try to emphasize speed. Maybe they can combine things and call the new team "The Mammoth Car" for all the Speed Racer fans out there.
@@CIronbeard Not one person has ever called them by such a thing. I'd be surprised if more than a tiny handful of folks even know that. Besides, when's that date back to 1924?
@theScotian24 dang, then why are they putting it on their pucks and decals in the NHL shop currently. Just because people don't call them that doesn't mean that the term isn't Hockey Club.
Utah- really boys, these are the best candidates you can come up with? Every heard of GPT or hiring a marketing organization? C'mon- show some creativity without getting weird. You can do this!
As a Sharks fan, who supports Utah in the central division - I say Utah Mammoth would be best. Right now options are Mammoth, Outlaws, and Utah HC. Let’s see.
I think your update on the new Utah Hockey Club name is already out of date. I saw a local news report today saying that due to crunching of the numbers that they already had and feedback that they got at the game last night they have decided that including Wasatch as one of the three options was a mistake. So going forward it will be replaced with Outlaws. That makes the three choices Utah Hockey Club, Mammoth, and Outlaws.
They’re doing an in stadium final voting over the next four games starting with the Penguins game last night. My girlfriend and I will be going to the game Sunday against the Blues and voting for Utah Mammoth for sure. Anything but Utah hockey club! The most generic name ever- might as well name them the Utah vanilla.
As someone around the area, it would seem that most fans are going with Mammoth. Here's hoping, because woof.
Every person I've talked to today say Mammoth.

Not quite it's we name ourselves Wasatch and use a "mythical snow creature" as the logo and keep trying to get yeti for 2026-27 or we chose Mammoth as it was another highly liked name or we just leave it at UHC for another year while we figure out our naming
The democracy of the Utah name choice was apparently an illusion. You get Mammoth or a joke name.
If it ends up being Hockey Club, you’ll know the fix was always in
Utah Swarm as an homage to the "Beehive State" would be great
Trappers as a possible name as Salt Lake City was founded by Jim Bridger. Famous army scout, trapper and explorer. ??
The Utah Sidewinders.
let's go Habs! Given the other games today, it's probably a unique opportunity to gain back some ground in the MID-off
Utah Vipers
0:35 Wasa Wasatch?
Utah Honeybee's or Bees and calling the fanbase or arena the beehive was the best idea that didn't make the cutoff. That final list isn't even real, Mammoth is the only passable remaining option
@@MrBOuellette Bees is our baseball team, so a no go for that one.
@@aw3someinc175 ahhh, I don't follow baseball so I did not know that!
@@MrBOuellette Right, probably not local either…It’s all good
@@MrBOuelletteIt’s a minor league AAA team in SLC. We are wondering if Utah gets an MLB team if they will transfer the name. This is because the Miller group that owns the AAA team are actively pursuing an MLB franchise. The Millers are the former owners of the Utah Jazz. They sold the Jazz to Ryan Smith who now also owns the Utah hockey club.
We already have a minor league baseball team named the bees. We also have a team named the raptors.
Boycott Yeti, see the stock price drop, and do a hostile takeover, just a joke, but?
Like there are enough people who would care about the issue to make a difference.
Hot take: both real names are kinda sweet
Utah Super Soakers isnt available😢
NHL turning into a soccer league. It started with the latest Florida soccer logo
Bonneville's not too far from Salt Lake City, and it's known around the world as a speedy place, but I never saw any Utah name being considered that took that connection into consideration, which is surprising because in hockey they always try to emphasize speed. Maybe they can combine things and call the new team "The Mammoth Car" for all the Speed Racer fans out there.
Wasatch out. Outlaws back. LETS GO OUTLAWS 👏👏👏👏👏
Hockey has teams, soccer has clubs
Better tell Toronto. They're the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club

Not one person has ever called them by such a thing. I'd be surprised if more than a tiny handful of folks even know that.
Besides, when's that date back to 1924?
@theScotian24 dang, then why are they putting it on their pucks and decals in the NHL shop currently. Just because people don't call them that doesn't mean that the term isn't Hockey Club.
Here we go for a Thursday!
After a sub-par 2-3 night, here are your winners for tonight: WPG MIN WSH TBL CAR NYI CGY EDM VGK SEA
They should have been the Swarm. But I also like Mammoth and I hope Colorado brings back the footprint logo and howler now!
Mammoth is the best of a bad bunch.
Utah- really boys, these are the best candidates you can come up with? Every heard of GPT or hiring a marketing organization? C'mon- show some creativity without getting weird. You can do this!
Honest to God.
The state emblem for Utah is a beehive. The Utah Swarm. The arena is The Hive. Their jersey gimmick is stripes. It writes itself.
As a Sharks fan, who supports Utah in the central division - I say Utah Mammoth would be best. Right now options are Mammoth, Outlaws, and Utah HC. Let’s see.
I think your update on the new Utah Hockey Club name is already out of date. I saw a local news report today saying that due to crunching of the numbers that they already had and feedback that they got at the game last night they have decided that including Wasatch as one of the three options was a mistake. So going forward it will be replaced with Outlaws. That makes the three choices Utah Hockey Club, Mammoth, and Outlaws.
Maybe the logo could be a yeti riding in on a mammoth 🤔
Why would they leave "Hockey Club" as one of their three options? 😂
Quick Google search, came up with these... Utah Ice Salts, Utah Canyoniers, Utah Zion, Utah Bighorns, Utah Muskies...

Do it
Wouldn't it be cool if the Yeti Corp. bought the naming rights to the arena the Utah hockey club plays in?
1/30 Winnipeg, Minnesota, Ottawa, Los Angeles, Carolina, NY Islanders, Calgary, Edmonton, Las Vegas, Seattle
I was so into Utah Raptors and Utah Yeti. I really really hope it's Mammoth not Hockey Club or even worse... Wasatch
Why use a name already used in another major league though?
Seems unimaginative, even if it fits the State.
Utah Mammograms. You know it's coming.
They’re doing an in stadium final voting over the next four games starting with the Penguins game last night. My girlfriend and I will be going to the game Sunday against the Blues and voting for Utah Mammoth for sure. Anything but Utah hockey club! The most generic name ever- might as well name them the Utah vanilla.
