2024 NHL OFFSEASON


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Adams didn't sound like a guy who is going to hire another guy with no NHL experience. Lindy and Berube are the two names most people are thinking will get the gig.

The NHL has officially announced the sale and relocation of the Arizona Coyotes to Salt Lake City

The team will be renamed though it might have a temporary name for next season

Alex Meruelo retains the name, intellectual property and historical records of the Coyotes which is now considered an inactive franchise

EDIT - I should note that like the Jazz, the team will go by "Utah" and not "Salt Lake City"

Because teams will never learn - Utah is doing a fan vote for the new name

20 "finalists"

Frost, Ice, Powder, Mountaineers, Freeze, Mammoth, Black Diamonds, Blast, Caribou, Blizzard, Swarm, Hive, Outlaws, Yeti, Squall, Fury, Glaciers, Canyons, Venom and HC, which stands for Hockey Club.

I use quotes because they are announced as "finalists" but the Top 4 vote getters will advance to another round where... something will happen

I sure hope they had secured the trademarks on all those names before releasing the list

Most of them are the drizzling shits; Outlaws and Yeti would be acceptable, but rest? Yikes. I'm a casual hockey fan at best, but  none of those makes me want to reconsider my (very casual) Rangers fandom.

And apparently they're not going to have a name going into next season, it's not supposed to debut until 2025-26. They're just going to have generic Utah jerseys for next year. Super embarrassing. This guy has apparently been angling for an NHL team for awhile, he doesn't already have a name and logo thought of? Shit, man, I had my own fictional hockey league with 200+ teams that I designed jerseys and logos for when I was 12.

Fitting, given it's your city's old franchise.  Maybe they should hire you.

Reading the ESPN article about it, it's pretty clear what MASSIVE fuck-ups comprised the prior ownership group, and it's kind of fucking sad they're going to be rewarded for it by being bought out so they can make some ridiculous profits.  Always a good reminder that almost no one rich really earned it and the size of their bank account just multiplies the size of the dumbass mistakes they can make.
