Utah is the Beehive state, right? How about Stingers unless the defunct WHA team would have an issue? Something along these lines would make for a pretty nice jersey.

I wonder if the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League will file a copyright objection if Utah chooses that name. At this point, you might as well stick with Utah Hockey Club

Just name them Buzz to be similar to the Jazz since it's the beehive state.
