Spoiler!
The tone of it is pretty funny. It sounds like someone from ownership was dictating to the social media person, and the social media person just typed it out verbatim.

Going for “total embarrassment of a franchise” from wire to wire.
Once the sale is finalized, Meruelo will be adamant that he will proceed with the arena. The NHL facilitated a $1 billion dollar interest free loan to make it happen. And he no longer has to bleed money while they play in a college rink.
I have never believed a word out of that organization but Coyote fans were adamant that the June 27 auction was the pivotal event. I suspect that once they hear how he is still committed to Phoenix hockey and the terms of the sale are revealed, those fans will be back on that roller coaster.
I read the Athletic piece and the Utah Mountaineers sounds great, and not too cliche.
Not a great name to build cheers around though.
A teams needs a one or two syllable name or nickname the fans can fit into a "GO ______ GO" or "LET'S GO ___-____" structure like "Go Flames Go!" or "Let's Go Oi-lers!" (Oilers suck!).
The easiest way is usually just to use a variation of the first or last syllable of the name, like how Avalanche gets shortened to Avs or Hurricanes gets shortened to Canes.
Mountaineers doesn't really have an obvious way to shorten it: "Mounts", "Neers", "Eers"... None of those work.

Canadiens get away with a completely different word for their cheer. The Lightning too. I have no idea what Blue Jackets fans do (do they have any?). Canucks is two syllables but it still doesn't work.

Blue Jackets fans haven't had anything to cheer about.
I'm telling you. We've already done all the hard work. We gave them a name, a logo, jerseys and a Mascot.
bc-chris could bang this out and have a team in Salt Lake kitted out in like a week...does anyone know someone who makes Mascot costumes?
It shouldnt be hard. We could potentially even re-purpose something.
Granted...a salt shaker is an unusual shape. Well we'll fight that battle when we come to it.
All I ask is intellectual property residuals and...if the Salt Lake Shakers make the playoffs before the Calgary Flames...they must cede us their playoff berth. One time only.
I dont think thats too much to ask
