Utah Hockey Club finally reveals permanent identity as the Mammoth
The NHL team in Salt Lake City will be called the Utah Mammoth going forward, ending a protracted, year-long naming process that began with the Arizona Coyotes becoming the Utah Hockey Club last year. The franchise revealed its new identity with a video on X on Wednesday. Of course, fans were already well aware of what name was coming. Some social media users noticed the club's YouTube account had changed its handle to @UtahMammoth in April, and the franchise declined to confirm or deny if the leak was real. With a name in place, the Mammoth can finally end a saga that went through an extraordinary amount of phases and possibilities before landing on an option that was there from Day 1. How did it take this long for the Utah Hockey Club to find a new name? The Hockey Club nickname was instituted on an interim basis last summer, with 20 options presented for a fan vote. The possibilities were largely snow and mountain-themed, including the Mammoth, along with options such as the Swam, Fury and Hive. That list was eventually narrowed to six finalists: the incumbent Hockey Club, the Mammoth, the Yeti, the Outlaws, the Venom and the Blizzard. Advertisement And then the team picked the Mammoth from that group, right? Wrong! While those six options were put up for a fan vote, those results were never revealed. Months later, it was reported the club was scrapping its choice of the Yeti due to a copyright with the Yeti Cooler Company, and so the matter was sent to a third round of voting with the options consisting of the Hockey Club, the Mammoth and a new combatant, the Wasatch. In case you weren't aware, the Wasatch is the mountain range overlooking Salt Lake City and was basically a go-around to use the team's Yeti-themed art with that specific name no longer an option. Fans hated it so much that it was replaced by the Outlaws on the ballot before voting even finished. And now, we have a winner, after three rounds of voting and 21 different names put forward by the team. Utah can finally rally around the Mammoth.

It's a bit special." The youth coach admitted it could get confusing at times on the training pitch."Sometimes I do look down and wonder which one is which, but it's nice to have a family connection."Eve and Charlotte Burghin, the oldest twins who also play for South Yorkshire, are part of a hockey dynasty, as their parents met through the said they saw their relationship as an "advantage" on the field."I love it, I look over and I know where Charlotte's going to be and what she's going to do. I also know what will annoy her."Charlotte added that opposition teams sometimes mixed the pair up."They end up marking the wrong twin." For their father, Andrew Burghin, watching his daughters play together is a "proud moment"."It's often lump in the throat stuff," he said."As a sport it's a family thing, dads play with sons, mums and daughters, it goes through the generations. Socially it's a great sport to play, you can be sat next to a decorator or doctor, people from all walks of life, it helps socially more than any other sport."Dan Fletcher is the father of the youngest twins, Florence and Mabel, and admitted that training at the age of five involved a lot of "swinging sticks and squabbling"."Generally they get on pretty well. They love it here, it's a fantastic family sport."The GB hockey squad has a set of twins in the women's ranks, Sophie and Olivia Busby said he did not know whether there was a world record for the most twins who were part of the same sports club."Maybe we'll have a look one day - who knows, it could be us!"

'Go None Of The Aboves!' Why NHL Utah's Three Name Options Leave A Lot To Be Desired
What is it about names for professional sports teams in Utah? In basketball, they have the Jazz, and in hockey, they could have a name that means frozen penis. Because of trademark issues, the Utah Hockey Club could not use 'Yeti' as its nickname because of the cup company. It's interesting that a team that is so far from the Cup gets scuttled once again by a company that makes the three they have up for a fan vote are: Mammoth Wasatch (which could be derived from a Ute word meaning "low place in high mountains" or "frozen penis," depending on the source) Hockey Club Perhaps they should just stick with Hockey Club.
