I am heartbroken as a coyote fan in AZ, literally heartbroken. I wish the team nothing but the best . SL you guys are getting an amazing young team that is only a few pieces away from being a cup contender. Farewell friends… Go yotes 😢😢
They are going to be a good team in the near future, you can almost see it happening too. Maybe by year 3 the new Utah team could be a playoff contender in that Central Division. It should be interesting to watch.
I also like the idea of Smith buying the brand name from the ECHL Grizzlies and it becomes the NHL team, while the ECHL team would be rebranded the Golden Eagles as a nod to their hockey past.
The best part, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALEX MERUELO! Arizona is hurting with the loss of our team, and we're excited for the fans in Utah. Your getting a great team with a very bright future! I wish you the best.
As a fan of hockey in general. I know the Delta center is not conducive for professional hockey. Wouldn’t it be better to have them play in the Maverick center until the new areas built?
History of pro hockey is rich. 55 years starting with golden eagles who played at the delta center The golden eagles should the name of team. History matters
It is not a new team, it is an old team, it is 3 decades old and has been the joke of the league for all of it. The league is paying Smyth a billion dollars to take the failure of the coyotes off their hands. 🤷🤣
Welcome to the NHL Salt Lake City!! And Best of Luck to the Utah, uh, Roadrunners maybe....? Well, whatever the team name, here's hoping that the new Utah team has some success, both on & off the ice. Good Luck guys!!👍👍👍
I like the Swarm. It works perfectly. It’s the Beehive State, after all. While I’m sad for Arizona(also confident they’ll be back), I think this is going to work in Utah because the support is going to be there without a doubt. The icing on the cake is Smith looks to be an owner who is fully committed to investing in the team as a whole from top to bottom, and that’s the difference right now.
That would be a pretty cool name and imagine that they call their arena The Hive or even have a nickname like that even if it’s not official, similar to the San Jose Sharks having their arena known as the Shark Tank.
Wow! Oakland I get. But Phoenix? Just looks bad, you guys in Arizona. How sad. But a cautionary tale for all cities who have professional sports team. Nothing is sacred anymore. Owners will take their teams where they can get the most money. And sounds like tax payer money is in the mix.
'Yeti' sounds like a minor league team. The Avalanche already have yeti theming on their uniforms too, so it's not ideal for branding anyway. Keep it simple and go with a historical reference - Utah Eagles.
Bettman should go, he thought he was a genius moving the jets to Arizona, he must have figured this was going to herald him as a "Goddamn " genius, Guess he was wrong
a sling is a simple weapon used to hurl small missiles, as in, stick and puck. UTAH SLING. The SL will represent Salt Lake. Or UTAH SLINGER. But NOT SLINGERS - please, NO "S".
Team is on the way up so fans shouldn't have to wait long for the team to become a contender, plus they have a deep system of young talent on the way up as well !
I’m thinking Pioneers and Elks but Gilas could work. With the Pioneers, they could have a logo with certain design cues of the La Salle Explorers logo where instead of a pirate looking through a telescope it could be a Mormon pioneer looking through binoculars and having mountains in the background. The Elks they would have to make sure to not make a logo resembling the Milwaukee Bucks but Gilas, that would be very interesting and unique.
You refer to this franchise as an NHLTeam . A- the NHL sucks . B - there are at least 10 franchises that are joke and should not exist . Just because Bettman has been moving the Stanley cup around the US for the past 31 years , don’t think the product deserves to be called nhl hockey . Hockey is dead with or without Phoenix . Kharma - embarrassed Bettman - you should be . How you going to influence the playoffs this year to keep a Canadian team from winning .
Ryan Smith bamboozled hockey fans here in SLC. He purposefully sent out notifications to Utah Jazz season ticket holders, first, ANNND...ONLY Jazz season ticket holders get priority access. That is discrimination, not to mention low down and sneaky.
SLC is a minor league city. It’s Sacramento with mountains. The Jazz are a joke and the new hockey franchise will be a joke as well. Should pair well with the region, I suppose!
I hope this team becomes the Jazz of the NHL, a do noething team for a noething city that desperately wants to be anything other than what it has, is, and will always be, a cultural wasteland.

from being a cup contender. Farewell friends… Go yotes 😢😢
Dont worry man if u win that bid your rink will be god tier!!
They will return
@MicheleCobre Better hope Meruelo isn't incharge

Yeah Man 😢
I'm a Vegas Golden Knights fan, but I will gladly adopt Utah as my second team. My vote for the team name is Utah Yeti. It just rolls off the tongue.
Salt lake Soakers
@@stevendiaz7633 Salt Lake Sasquatch, Utah Yeti, Utah Blizzard, Utah Grizzlies....all pretty cool nicknames !
@@stevendiaz7633what an original joke🙄
Bruins fan here. The Utah Swarm will be a good team name for them. It reflects the state's nickname well.
Utah Bruins. Boston can change to the swarm.
It's frustrating to see an owner, who at best was inept and at worst unethical, profit significantly from selling a hockey team that he mismanaged.
Now you know how Seattle felt after Mr Coffee sold the Sonics!
Wasatch Sasquatch is the best team name hands down
Yup, welcome to the Salt Lake Sasquatch !! 👾🤣
Utah yeti sounds good
Salt Lake is DEFINETLY getting a team on the rise which is gonna help draw fans !
This Vancouver fan is super excited for Salt Lake City. Hoorah Utah!
I just don't get why they had 3 different anchors all at the Delta center. They only needed one there.
The news studio is right next door to the Delta Center. It was a slow news day until the Iran started to get bombed two hours later.
I also like the idea of Smith buying the brand name from the ECHL Grizzlies and it becomes the NHL team, while the ECHL team would be rebranded the Golden Eagles as a nod to their hockey past.

The problem is the new guy in Utah is worse
As a fan of hockey in general. I know the Delta center is not conducive for professional hockey. Wouldn’t it be better to have them play in the Maverick center until the new areas built?
No cuz it’s not in Salt Lake City
Ryan Smith does not own the Maverik Center.
History of pro hockey is rich. 55 years starting with golden eagles who played at the delta center
The golden eagles should the name of team. History matters
The Golden Eagles played at the salt palace, epic name
Why not Pioneers in that case? That would pay homage to the Mormon pioneers in Utah when there was migration out west.
@@lakerskid2013Too generic.
Welcome to the NHL.
I think the Utah outlaws would be an amazing name. Or at least something that has to do with the wild West.
I read something that said they're going to call them the Utah Hockey Club.

Keep it simple and go with a historical reference - Utah Eagles.
lets pick a good name like the yeti, buy the grizzlies brand, outlaws, maybe swarm
Utah Grizzlies is a great name.
Just don't call them Yetis
Just remember Utah you’ll never become Hockeytown That’s Detroit. Do not get confused.
Wow congrads!
Go Nights GO
I want the utah team to be called the Broncos or Grizzlies
Bettman should go, he thought he was a genius moving the jets to Arizona, he must have figured this was going to herald him as a "Goddamn " genius, Guess he was wrong
YES!!!!!
Its the Coyotes.
Will probably change their name.😊
a sling is a simple weapon used to hurl small missiles, as in, stick and puck. UTAH SLING. The SL will represent Salt Lake. Or UTAH SLINGER. But NOT SLINGERS - please, NO "S".
Expand to New Orleans!
Team is on the way up so fans shouldn't have to wait long for the team to become a contender, plus they have a deep system of young talent on the way up as well !
I CAN wait for the Utah Stormin Mormans to play.
You will never beat the ghosts of the Montreal Centre Bell 👻 GO Habs GO!!
Oh yea. living under the guise of your history when there was 6 teams. What has the team done in the last 20 years? French idiots.
The curse of Patrick Roy….
They should be called the Utah seagulls 🤣🤣
Neither owner has a arena for neither team
Utah Guardians, Utah Generals,
I like Utah Guardians
The beeswax 😂
Gila monsters is more Arizonan than Utahan. Yeti would be better.
Fu Arizona for letting coyotes go
Utah Skinwalkers.
Sweet
Utah Raptors would be a great name.
Yesssss
Utah salty bee's! Or Utah salty dogs!

Utah Raptors should be the name
But there already exists the Ogden Raptors baseball team.

I wish the Utah Saints the best of good fortune in Utah.
Only $1.2 billion for a team of hockey hobos.
yikes
hope keller and some of those guys get outta utah

Stuff like that literally happens all the time and everywhere.
Not true at all. I'm not a Jazz season ticket holder but I still had the chance to put a deposit. That statement is flat out false
I’m from California and I was one of the first 50 people chosen when I made the deposit
Question: Will you actually go to the majority of the games or a business $$$@@Soundtracks92
SLC is a minor league city. It’s Sacramento with mountains. The Jazz are a joke and the new hockey franchise will be a joke as well. Should pair well with the region, I suppose!
*Arizona Tears Detected*

Houson Texas needs to sew Bettman and the NHL because Bettman told That city they would be the next new NHL City...........
Maybe Columbus Blue Jackets Would Be Sold To Houston
Where do they find all these gay people to interview?
Gay people make up a large percentage of the general population, so nothing surprising about finding gay people. 🙂
