It's always seemed strange to me that a winter sports hub like SLC didn't have a NHL team.
I hate to see the yotes leave but AZ didnt deserve a team they didnt want to support or pay for
Well they do now and Rightfully so. I think they will have great rivals with the Avs.
It's a small state with not much corporate interests. Milwaukee has a higher population and more corporate head offices and they don't have an NHL team either even though hockey is extremely popular in Wisconsin
This is LONG OVER DO! S.L.C. should have had an NHL team by the 90's .... at the LATEST.
@@wizzerwiser2056Just an fyi. SLC metro has a higher population and gdp compared to Milwaukee. The demographics aren’t close
Call them Utah Raptors...or Utah Sasquatch, or Utah Blizzard, or Utah Rapids.
Toronto Raptors Trade mark,
Utah Transients.... Your only renting them until they get tired of begging for your money. 4 cities in less than 3 decades doesnt say loyalty to the fans thats for sure. They'll be in Kansas City by 2050 if not much sooner.
@@burnout_2017 Oh please, they'll sellout every game in the Delta Center just like the Jazz do.
@@burnout_2017different owners though, we will have to wait and see

Lolololol
As an Oilers fan, I look forward to coming to Utah to see some games and seeing Utah fans come to Edmonton. Welcome to the League Utah!! Cheers from Edmonton 🇨🇦
Edmonton is an incredible city, I’ve been taking vacations to escape the Arizona heat during June, to the capital of Alberta, great food, very nice people.
Congratulations Utah. Welcome to the NHL family.
This means no more sports bettings for the team. Mormon Church doesn’t allow gambling of any kind in Utah.
Probably for the better. Nothing against sports betting but as former NHL PK Subban pointed out, we don't need recovering gambling addicts getting hit with gambling adds. Might as well go show some cigarettes to a recovering smoke-addict.
I game off shore from zion.
MORMONS DON'T allow ANYTHING--of ANY kind.
Which it shouldn't. Gambling only causes heart break for so many...
That part
Utah Mountaineers
Utah Yeti, 2024/25 Stanley Cup Champions.
I can't wait.. Season Tickets Here!!!
Swarm (play out of 'the hive'), Stampede, Pioneers, Raptors, Grizzlies (rebrand), Bighorn, Blizzard, Ice Dogs
what other names make sense?
Salt Lake Swarm isn't bad 👀
Yetis,Arch’s, They also can’t be the Grizzlies because of the Bruins
Swarm is legit
The Jazz(NBA), Blizzard(NHL) and The Buzz(MLB)
Utah Latter Day Saints
YES
Guys, I promise you don’t have to do a cheesy Utah based hockey team name. Black diamonds, SLC Punks
I lived in Phoenix from 1997-2007 and they never really did much. Hope you have better luck.
Phoenix is just a NBA city. A MLS team would be a big hit in Phoenix.
Hold up. What happened to Hope Woodside
I'm stoked to get a hockey team in Utah!!! Welcome to Utah to the Coyote team!!!!
Why do they have to move 😭😭😭
The coyotes finished up their second season in a 5,000-seat arena after getting evicted from their last arena after not paying lease and were warned several times this season for not paying hotel bills
Conflict about getting a new arena built in another part of Arizona.
Just hope those wacky Smiths keep them the Coyotes. For some dumb reason they they almost think they are getting a expansion team that they can rename and reinvent that's a horrible idea!!!
The same way the Jazz are still the Jazz
The Coyotes should remain the Coyotes!!!!
Best dam logo in the NHL too
@@LAKingsFan90 the Whalers became the Hurricanes and the Nordiques became the Avalanche
@@GoalHornGeek .....and the Winnipeg Jets became the Phoenix Coyotes.
I was more hoping the coyotes get a new arena and that we get an expansion team
theres already 32 teams in the NHL its getting too large to begin with, moving teams is the best idea right now
I heard some rumors about that, part of the agreement of the Coyotes moving to SLC, thru the Board of Governors, is that Phoenix would be first-in-line to getting a 'new' expansion team to the current/former owner of the Coyotes Franchise if he can get a arena deal done within 5-10 years. The second part of this, if Phoenix does get a second shot of a NHL team, where would the 34th team be??? The NHL does not like having a unbalanced league...
@@Brainfogmusic-66 I agree, right now, seeing some rumors that the 2nd coming of the Winnipeg Jets might be in financial trouble, can't get the fans to the games.
For all we know the Coyotes could potentially stay in Phoenix and Winnipeg Jets or Vancouver Canucks move to Salt Lake City.
My grandson was the first ever Utahn to play hockey in the Olympics…
He went to Gangwon Korea in January 2024 and Team USA Won🥇GOLD!
He played in the U15’s team.
Our family will be THRILLED to have a hockey team in Utah!
How about we name them the Deseret Dogs😂
Utah Grizzlies. The Minor League team will either move or be renamed. Make it happen
I agree, best name for sure
What will happen to the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies?
Utah Stingers
UTAH RoadRunners, thats way when phoenix gets coyotes back. Roadrunner coyote rivalry
Utah would get the Coyotes' AHL team which is the Tucson Roadrunners. So while I like the name I don't think it works. I'm pretty on about the idea of calling them the Utah Raptors.
@@TheSettlingTheWestShow it would make sense to call the Arizona AHL team coyotes for the time being. Those people need closure.
The Warren Jeffs
You sure its not more because they will be road runnin to KC once they milk utah for its money?
I think Winnipeg, Glendale, and Phoenix would all confirm that "Roadrunners" is very appropriate. Dont get to emotionally involved in this team, as soon as the free cash runs out...they run out also.....of town that is.
Anybody know the words to "Goin to Kansas City"? 😂😂😂😂
Salt lake Golden Eagles!
I hope they have an awesome mascot.
Introducing The Utah Silver Blades ! The newest NHL Team !
Salt Lake City Wolves has a nice ring on it.
No it does not keep them the Yotes !!!!
Best logo and uniform in the NHL why would you want to change them they are not an expansion team same way Jazz stayed the Jazz
The Coyotes should remain the Utah or SLC Coyotes
because nobody cares about the team, the city wants a team that connects with the new team
Because a Wolf is a bigger. meaner, more dominant animal than a Coyote? They transformed from Coyotes into Wolves???........Hmmm............. Utah Wolves?.......I think you might be on to something there. Welcome to the NHL from, Edmonton. Cheers!
Wolves is taken by Chicago AHL affiliate, so it wont happen
@@LAKingsFan90
They have to change the name, logo, colors because if the current owner is awarded an expansion team later on, then they will more than likely reuse all of it again.
Not only that, the new owner has already been asking people on social media to come up with new names for the team.
Salt Lake Locomotive!!
Salt lake snow birds? Seriously? 😐
This is awesome! Another team in the Rocky mountain region is so cool. I really hope the Coyotes name is retained, as it's a pretty cool name. Can't wait to see this team in Utah!
I would same long in for coyotes in Salt Lake City and different colors blue white purple brown green next season a black jersey and white jersey and red jersey
I like the yettis lol
Utah coyotes/Utah jazz
Salt Lake Serpents has a nice ring to it
Utah is a great sports city. Jazz always have fans, RSL has great attendance for being a sport that the country doesn’t take serious, College football is always full. Even combat sports have great attendance. SLC had sold out shows for the UFC and WWE. Keep them coming!
My team names for salt lake nhl. 1. Utah raptors 2. Utah hoodoos 3. Utah mammoths 4. Utah zions.
Just keep Danny Ainge away from this team.
Salt Lake Olympians sounds appropriate given how 2 Olympics were held there I believe 04 and I forget the other year I could be wrong. I’d go with something to do with snow, Skiers, Boarders, Hail, Sleet
Just spit balling here
2002 and it might be there in 2030.
So just for some background. I went to school for a while in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and have been an Arizona Coyotes fan.
I’m an Atheist. How would I be accepted if I were to move to Salt Lake City based on my lack of religious beliefs.
You’d be accepted. Plenty of non religious folks especially in Salt Lake City. I have visible tattoos and have no issues.
You will be fine, more than half the state isn’t Mormon now you know
In my humble opinion, we're here to observe the sport - not a religious service. So come on over and support the team!!!
Is the LDS buying them?
The problem here is that SLC is not a big market city. The LA's, NY's and Bostons of the world can sellout their NBA and NHL games because there's millions more ppl in those towns than SLC., What this may do to a small market city is give the sports fan a second option on what to spend money on during the NBA season which overlaps the NHL season. Do they want to see a Jazz team that may stunk or could they spend their money to see NHL hockey which would be a breath of fresh air? Many fans will have to make that decision in this economy. The fact that hockey is the best sport in person, ppl in SLC will likely fill the Delta Center, but that would come at the expense of the Jazz home attendance streak. I hope it doesnt, we'll see what happens. Utah and the NHL make perfect sense, and best wishes to that franchise, its new fans who will undoubtedly be as loyal to them as they have been to the Jazz for over 4 decades!
You must not be a Utahn. All teams will sell out arenas
This genuinely a bad take. This will help SLC immensely and the surrounding area. It’s more profit for the city

If they want the name 'Coyotes' they'll have to pay for it. Arizona may get another franchise in five years. My bet is they keep their name.
They’ll only get another franchise if it’s specifically in the relocation deal that Arizona is guaranteed one in a few years. If not, hate to say it, but Arizona getting another team would at least be decades at best
or Utah Renegades
Utah Grenades
Too funny.....3rd major sports team...... Like soccer is a major sport, how cute.
It is. It's the world's most popular sport.
@@notoriouseagle1074 well bless your little heart then..... 😂😂😂
“Major” league soccer ( MLS )
Utah Yeti or Salt Lake Sasquatch
I like the Utah Young Communists.
Do you know the history of hockey in Utah? Golden Egals is the only choice
PLEASE name them the Utah Raptors (after the state dinosaur), a dinosaur-themed hockey team, especially one based in my state would drain my resources.
It's very bittersweet for me. I've always dreamed of a Utah team, and they're getting a roster full of young talent I adore, but it's coming at the cost of a team I loved, and I have a lot of friends
Why do you think that you get to change the name???
You're not getting an expansion team getting the Coyotes!!!!
Best dam logo in the NHL same way the Jazz are still the Jazz The Coyotes should remain the SLC Coyotes!!!
🤦🤦🤦
@@LAKingsFan90only the coyotes themselves are a name changed team. They are the Winnipeg Jets.
@@LAKingsFan90 EVERY team that has ever moved in the NHL changed the name. Remember the Coyotes were originally the Jets.
Salt Lake City $avior$
Yeti!
Keep the Coyotes’ name. Such a cool mascot.
No. The Coyotes are too synonymous with their period of ineptitude in AZ.
@@charliethemaddawg perfect for Utah sports then.
@@chubydukskruber7969 Which one and why is it perfect.
@@charliethemaddawg ineptitude
@chubydukskruber7969 Well, for starters, their time @ America West was a boondoggle. The fans couldn't see them from about 25% of the arena. They went bankrupt, not once, but twice, the NHL had to step in and essentially bail out their operations so they wouldn't fold. They couldn't... or wouldn't pay their lease @ Gila Bend, so they were basically forced to more into a college size arena of ONLY 5,000 PEOPLE. Then they couldn't get their desired regular sized arena agreed to or built. So yeah, that sounds pretty inept to me. I just their not in for a redux @ Delta Center if it means doing some temporary renovations before building their new arena in SLC. Or else they'd be shooting themselves in the foot again.
If the Jazz are selling out their games, will there be enough fans to fill an arena for an NHL team?
you do realise you can support both teams right
They'll probably share the Delta Center and games won't overlap.
Utah Mons. For morMons and Monuments
bet they relocate in 15 years
Bet not
Congrats, you just inherited one of the worst franchises in all of professional sports
Utah Thrashers
Keep name
New team name…
Utah Polygamists and the front jersey crest will be a cartoon version of Warren Jeffs.
Or…. The SLC Mailmen Malones
The Salt Licks
The Utah Elk!
Salt Lake City Coyotes!
Utah jackalopes
So excited for this. I love hockey, however they should not change the name or logo! It’s the coolest logo in all of nhl
Yeah I agree. I think for the Jazz the fact that jazz music isn’t really relevant in the state of Utah kind of makes the team name more unique and interesting so I think having the team be called the Utah Coyotes would sound really cool.
No, the kachinas are meant for the native tribes of Arizona. The jerseys and name need to stay in AZ.
Warren jeffs
Utah Skinwalkers
DOPE.
Utah do the world a favor and keep the name and keep the Kachinas!!!!!!!!!!
Salt Lake soakers
Utah Beehives!
How about utah dinos or dynamos?
Utah goo fit for NHL. MLB won't locate there. Owners and players assoc. don't want another high altitude Denver situation.
It's location is right in the middle between Las Vegas,Denver,Seattle. Vancouver,Edmonton,Calgary and not that far from the 3 California teams or even Dallas. For the NHL it's a perfect road trip fit for the existing Western Conference teams.
KEEP THEM THE COYOTES
I SWEAR YOU PEOPLE BETTER NOT CHANGE THE BEST LOGO/UNIFORMS IN THE NHL
SAME WAY JAZZ STAYED THE JAZZ KEEP THEM THE COYOTES!!!!!!!!!!
The nhl told arizona they can keep thr coyotes name if they can get the land deal done and build the arena they will get a team.
What if the Coyotes became Wolves????
Bye bye coyotes hello stormin mormons
How about, utah wolverines...?
Utah grizzlies
Utah Olympians?

Nhl opening night sellout. Nba jazz end sellour streak. Jazz leave sault lake city
Move Jazz and bring Suns to Utah. Don't care for hockey and taxpayers should not pay for Ryan Smiths ego.
I was under the impression that the arena for the SLC was to be able to get the Winter Olympics as well.
