Utah Hockey Club files trademarks for team names

The Utah Hockey Club is working on permanent names for their team. They have filed trademark extensions for two names: Utah Mammoth and Utah Hockey Club. This move comes after fan voting took place at Delta Center. The voting included three names: Utah Mammoth, Utah Hockey Club, and Utah Wasatch. After some fans expressed disappointment, the club replaced Utah Wasatch with the popular name, Outlaws. The Outlaws name was already approved for trademark in January, so it didn’t need new filings. The team has had a difficult time selecting a name. Earlier this summer, “Utah Yeti” was a popular choice among fans. However, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected this name due to a conflict with Yeti Coolers LLC, a well-known brand. The team tried to resolve the issue, but they could not reach an agreement. Despite these naming challenges, the Utah Hockey Club is doing well in their first season. They have a record of 30 wins, 26 losses, and 11 overtime losses. They are just two points away from a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Team president Chris Armstrong said they are still on track to announce a final name before the 2025-26 season.
