Welcome Utah TBD

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.

Blue Jackets mascot would object.

Has to be the goofiest looking mascot in the league - I'm sure the kids love him though.

It could have been far, far worse

I would have loved to be in the meetings where he was hatched.

"We have a civil war theme, so we need a mascot to reflect that but be fun to engage kids"
"How about a giant green bee?"
<silence>
"In a kepi"
"PERFECT!"

if Saskatchewan got a team would it be Saskatchewan Fucking Flats?

do NOT disrespect the qu'appelle valley

Half their D-core is ex-Penguins. Gee nothing can go wrong there.

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

It's funny that the best part of Cypress Hills Provincial Park is in southeastern Alberta

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

Although I have no idea why the fuck the jazz didn't get a new nickname when they moved from New Orleans, Salt Lake City is not a hot bed for jazz.

Tell me how many lakes there are in Los Angeles compared to Minnesota. Another move that should've been followed up with a name change.

My only concern is that the fans would be given vuvuzelas and I'm still not over the dreadful noise from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Vuvuzela is too close to a word for ladyparts, and the Mormons would never stand for it.

They are missing out on a huge marketing strategy for their fan base. Utah Dirty Sodas!

Honestly, Yeti (the coffee mug and cooler people) are missing a huge opportunity. Use the mascot in their commercials and make a deal with the NHL that every cooler that holds the game pucks is a Yeti. Put their logo on the water bottles on the bench, stuff like that. But they are passing it up so they can prevent someone from using a word they didn't invent.

agreed ... Yeti is also the unofficial hockey mom swanky cooler for keeping their white wines cool for drinking in the arena parking lots pregame

Yeah Yeti is blowing it here.

WIth the Dirty Soda there is a chain called Swig. I am amazed they aren't trying to get in on this and growing their model outside the Mormons.

Did some marketing genius actually think it was going to sound cool like the Colorado Rockies?

Not bad lol

I don't know about you guys, but my vote is for franchise relocation (aka can we start over?)
