The hockey world has long been awaiting the anticipated rebrand of the Arizona Coyotes to their new home in Salt Lake City, Utah. Today, the top 20 potential nicknames have been announced.
After many agonizing months of ownership issues, the Coyotes were officially set to move out of Arizona. The team was due to move to Salt Lake City Utah after the NHL Board of Governors approved the sale on April 18th of this year.
Yet, this left former Yotes and new Utah hockey fans questioning the rebranding of the franchise. It was not long before rumors surrounding the team's new name circulated. However, in addition to the formal announcement of the team as "UTAH" for their first season, the franchise left it up to fans to vote from a list of 20 possible names for the team.
Among these names are the Utah Fury, the Utah Frost, and the seemingly popular Utah Yeti. Hockey fans have already provided their mixed reviews, with some detecting all names, and others just wishing they would pick one before the next season.
