The National Hockey League may come to Utah as soon as the 2024-25 season. But it will be soon. I have perused the internet and social media and found what other people said should be names for the Salt Lake hockey team. I will update this as I find others. Here is the list.

Salt Lake Golden Eagles
Salt Lake/Utah Grizzlies
