The National Hockey League's new franchise in Salt Lake City will be named with 'Utah' as the prefix, as confirmed by team owner Ryan Smith. The final team name, logo, and colors are yet to be determined, with the owner indicating that the name will likely be 'Utah Something'. The team, relocating from Arizona, has filed trademark applications for potential names including Utah Blizzard, Utah Venom, Utah Fury, Utah HC, and Utah Hockey Club. These applications were filed anonymously on Tuesday. The official mascot and nickname are expected to be announced in the franchise's second season, allowing ample time for careful selection.
Five applications were sent to the US Patent and Trademark Office for the new #Utah #NHL franchise on Tuesday. The names up for trademark are Utah Blizzard, Utah Venom, Utah Fury, Utah HC, and Utah Hockey.

The new team will be called "Utah" rather than "Salt Lake City." Don't expect a mascot and official team nickname until Season 2 of the franchise. NHL wants the team to have plenty of time to get it right. Just "Utah?" "Utah HC?" We could know tomorrow, with colors next week.
โUtahโ will be on the front of the jerseys of the stateโs NHL team next season, owner Ryan Smith said. The team will take its time to determine its name, logos and colors. โIt will 100 percent be โUtah,โ and then it will be โUtah Something,โ obviously,โ he said. https://t.co/iAwsWh5Rtr
