Utah Hockey Club's Potential Permanent Name Unveiled on YouTube
Refreshed Article:
Step aside, Utah Hockey Club, the NHL's newest kid on the block has something cooking for the 2025-26 season! It looks like they've accidentally let slip their permanent name, and it seems to be none other than the Utah Mammoth.
Fans were given a chance to vote on potential team names earlier this year, with options including Mammoth, Outlaws, and sticking with Utah Hockey Club. And guess what? It appears they're leaning towards Mammoth, thanks to a little gaffe on their YouTube channel.
You might've spotted it: people found that the team's handle had been changed to "@utahmammoth." Not too surprising, considering The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the team's YouTube channel has since vanished without a trace, and the team or its owners haven't commented on the apparent slip-up.
Oh, sure, there could be other explanations, but this one sure smells like a smoking gun to me—it looks like the Utah Mammoth is our team's new name.
I'll admit, it's a pretty solid name. Mammoths are fearsome beasts, but there's one thing that leaves me scratching my head. You remember, from the get-go, the most popular choice for the team was Utah Yeti, but it wasn't approved due to disputes with a cooler company.
Alrighty then. I get it.
But here's the kicker: when there's a lacrosse team called the Colorado Mammoth right next door, how is this name okay? I'm not a trademark attorney, but I'd say people would be more likely to mix up a pro hockey team with a pro lacrosse team instead of confusing the two with a cooler.
Still, if this Mammoth thing holds up, I'm excited for their big, furry-looking mascot. Just hope it's not too uncomfortable on those hot summer nights!
- The Utah Mammoth, the likely new name of the NHL's upcoming team, shares a name with the pro lacrosse team, Colorado Mammoth, raising questions about potential trademark issues.
- Despite the possibility of trademark disputes, the excitement for the Utah Mammoth's big, furry-looking mascot is palpable, despite concerns about comfort during hot summer nights.
- Interestingly, the Utah Yeti, a fan favorite during the voting process, was not approved due to disputes with a cooler company, leading to the selection of Utah Mammoth instead.
- The Utah Hockey Club's potential rebranding as the Utah Mammoth, although seemingly accidental due to a YouTube channel slip-up, seems highly likely given the team's newly adopted handle "@utahmammoth."
