It’s strange to explain why you don’t like a proposed team’s name and then say what you’d do if the does go by that name? I guess I’ll just see myself out.

Blizzard is out, also due to trademark infringement.

Blizzard keeps the zz in Utah and you create a yeti mascot like bear that will try and kill himself for laughs 41 games a year

I’m sorry but I have to agree with him on this one? That was a very strange post to a hockey team name and I didn’t really understand why you posted it. Also, maybe I missed it, and I wouldn’t condone personal attacks especially from him since I disagree with most of what he says, but are you saying the child comment is a personal attack? That…[Read more]

Except there are the Golden Knights and it has strongly inferred by the NHL would not allow it.

I’m all for a little throw-down. Stick up for yourself, argue, debate, BRING IT ON, but try to not let it get personal, that’s all.

What do I know though? If I feel attacked it isn’t going to go well.

I’ve said it before: I like the alternating opinions on here. There’s a place for group think…it’s called Cougarboard.

Hey UteBacker, in the words of John Rambo, he drew first blood. This guy has a habit of immediately engaging in personal attacks on people that post comments he doesn’t agree with and you can look that up. I don’t mind him having a disagreement with my opinions but I could do without the name-calling.

It’s already taken. The Coyotes’ farm team is known as the Tucson Roadrunners…

Salt Lake Golden Eagles has a nice ring and also has some history behind it. Good post.

The club couldn’t get the trademark rights for Utah Yeti as Yeti is a manufacturer of coolers (I have never heard of them and honestly I am not sure if they produce picnic coolers, air conditioning systems, or some other product).

Club said they recached out to them to see if a licensing arrangement could be made and were spurned by the…[Read more]

With a name beginning with Utah it’s hard to get something that rolls off the tongue. I liked the coyotes but that is out. How about the coyote nemesis “road runners “( old cartoon reference ) they don’t play on dirt so how about the “ice runners”.

You’re digging a hole for yourself with every response. So stop digging. The only thing here that’s “incredibly idiotic” is you thinking that your opinion on any given subject is the only one that matters.

When you say something incredibly idiotic, you ought to be called out for it
Grow up.

I knew that, you specifically, would say something like that. Because that’s what you do, isn’t it?
That’s your schtick, insult and attack people that have different opinions from you on this forum. Are you a season ticket holder for the UHC? Because, in my mind, if you’re not, then you really have no standing in this argument.

Regardless of…[Read more]

“I will stop supporting the team”

Are you a child? This þ is among the most ridiculous reasons to stop supporting a team.

Mammoth or UHC. I’m not sure what the attraction is for Outlaws. I hear people say stuff like “it’s a nod to Utah’s history” but it’s that good or bad? I mean you never see teams called the Chicago Gangsters, New York Mafia, or Boston Mob, right? And all of those are absolutely historically accurate. I don’t know if it’s an LDS, Utah, or Salt…[Read more]

My top 3

1. Uintas
2. Oquirrhs
3. River Rats

I can live with either Outlaws or Mammoth, I just hope the logo/branding looks good. With Ryan Smith calling the shots, I am not hopeful in that department (The yellow Utah Jazz rebrand was SO bad).

Utah Hockey Club is not it.

I am glad that Ryan threw out the “Wasatch” idea after one day of backlash lol.
