Okay, so heres something of a pedantic question that I'm sure no one really knows the answer to:

Will they be...the Salt Lake (Shakers dammit!)

Or...the Utah Whatevers?

Similarly to how the Coyotes went from 'Phoenix' to 'Arizona.'

Everything seems to indicate it will be Utah.

Well then we go with the tried and true 'Utah Hatu"

Yes. That will do.

Making a mascot and a logo is going to be more difficult with fewer available obvious jokes, but we shall endeavour on!

What if instead of broadening it they narrow it?

Just call them the Brigham Young Soldiers!

What about a name symbolizing rebirth of a franchise? The Salt Lake City Phoenix

Oh the French would lose their goddamned minds which might be worth it all on its own.

Just take the old logo, hang a couple banners and boom! Instant loathing.

That would be awesome.

Mormons, at least in Southern Alberta, love love love basketball. It's rare to see them play hockey. All the school basketball teams in and around Lethbridge are predominantly Mormon.

I'm bringing Salt Shakers to the game.

Granted, salt isnt going to travel that far and actually throwing the shakers themselves onto the ice is going to cause problems of its own....

Well we'll fight that when we come to it.

The funny thing is the Utah Raptors would actually be a good name since Utahraptor is the actual name of a dinosaur whose remains were found in the state.

It would be much more appropriate than the Toronto Raptors, who got their name because it was a year after Jurassic Park came out. I always find it funny when people make fun of the Mighty Ducks because they were named after a movie, but have no problem cheering for the Raptors.

The Utahraptor is actually closer in size to the creatures in the movie that were called Velociraptors.

The Utah Second Comers.

ETA: Their AHL affiliate would need to be named the Flagstaff Fluffers to keep hockey in Arizona.

When you're having sex with the Mormons theres never a 'Round 2.'

Alright. Thats it. I think I've exhausted my 'Mormon Joke Quota' for the day.

I'll see myself out.
