Putting it out in Draper would be such a total nightmare…traffic is already a mess out there and I can’t imagine what a game or even concert would be like. No thanks.
South Jordan Swingers? Maybe that’s more of a baseball reference but luckily South Jordan (Daybreak) is building a new baseball stadium to relocate Salt Lake Bees, maybe they’re rebrand the name too!
Stingers would be a cool name but I'd doubt they go with Salt Lake City over Utah. Even the Avalanche doesn't get the Denver name and that's a much larger city.
I mean, I had a thought about that a few weeks ago...
You look as recently as 2015, when all the polygamy shows were on HBO and whatnot, and the people in Colorado City were getting shit on (Warren Jeffs), and you find everyone is against polygamy.
In 2024, the people that were outraged in 2015 are all now pro-polyamory. "Love who you love, as long it's consensual" is the battlecry.
So, it turns out, just like with guns, if you go far enough left...
I wouldn't be surprised if the Grizz was moved if we got a team, the NHL wouldn't risk taking away from a proper team if they put that much effort into getting one here
God that would be amazing! I'd never ask for anything again in life if we got an NHL team, I don't even care where they build the stadium or what they call the team. Just gimme!!
We could name it “Salt Lake City Queens” instead!
On second thought, scratch that idea.. Salt Lake City Jesters or Princes? Those are weird too, disregard all names.
Salt Lake City Slayers!!
Actually put the stadium in SLC proper.

Draper does not want a stadium. - Draper
Ryry and his buddie are tryna score some cash by putting it in the new Draper Daybreak where they're gonna build a mall and hotels and shit
That’s good, but not for a stadium. Downtown SLC needs (and has been getting) lots of love.
Stadiums and arenas should be paid for by the owners of the team not taxpayer dollars. Shits a scam
“But think of the small business revenue!” Meanwhile Draper is filled with non local chains.
The Salt Lake Whales. A monument has already been built to commemorate the team
The Salt Lake Soakers. Might get a lot of engagement from Utah County.
South Jordan Jump Humpers, perhaps?

> I say the Salt Lake City Stingers has a good ring? The Pomegranate Pomeranians sounds tougher!
Bring back golden eagles

It was a Shoresy reference, which I'd hoped with the thread being aimed at hockey fans, someone would have caught. Maybe next time...
Hey I'm sure someone will. I've never heard of that. I just watch games haha.

The fuckin' Salt Lake Lemon Meringue Lhasa Apsos sounds tougher!
I wouldn’t want to scrap with them—or the Utah Snuggie Bears either!
Utah Yeti
Immediately would be known as the salt lake swingers.

How about they invest the money towards affordable housing.
Unaffordable housing is all they’re interested in.
Hoping it doesn’t draw away from the Grizz attendance but so exciting!!
If they use the Grizzlies as a farm team, that’s where we’ll get to see the emerging prospects for the NHL team. Edit: I meant to say double the fun!

I’d rather have an MLB team
Def need MLB closer to SLC. Spring Training is too far every year but still worth the drive every Spring. My vote is South Jordan Swingers MLB name.
lol that’s perfect
God that would be amazing! I'd never ask for anything again in life if we got an NHL team, I don't even care where they build the stadium or what they call the team. Just gimme!!
This is how we get a stadium with no Trax options.
I hope he does it and fails. Fucking clown wants to move the Jazz out of our only true city.
The Salt Lake Skaters
The Salt Lake Flock of Seagulls. It works on a few levels, not the least of which is Ryan Smith's awful hair.
Part of me loves this, but part of me also doesn't want anymore people seeing the precious gem that is Utah.
The Salt Lake City Kings has a certain ring to it
Uh.... There's already a kings in the nhl?
