Yeti, Outlaws among 6 finalists for NHL's Utah team name

NHL Utah's hunt for a nickname continues.

The club narrowed down its options to six finalists Thursday after totaling more than 520,000 votes from fans.

Here are the names still in the running:

• Utah Blizzard
• Utah Hockey Club (Utah HC)
• Utah Mammoth
• Utah Outlaws
• Utah Venom
• Utah Yeti

The second round of voting will run until June 20, and the final steps in the name selection process will be revealed in the coming months.

The team's chosen branding won't debut until 2025-26. In 2024-25, players will don jerseys with "Utah" across the front.

Utah unveiled the top 20 finalists in early May.

The NHL's board of governors approved the sale and relocation of the Arizona Coyotes to Salt Lake City in April.
