NHL team moving from Arizona to Salt Lake City will have a name starting with Utah

The NHL team moving from Arizona to Salt Lake City will be known as Utah, at least initially, until a long-term name is determined.

"We’ll start with Utah on the jersey and we’ll figure out the logo and everything else and what it is that we are," new owner Ryan Smith told The Associated Press. "We’re going to be Utah either way. We have the first part of the name. We don’t have the last.

"Then it’ll be "full speed ahead" with the infrastructure, including potential renovations to Delta Center, home of the NBA’s Utah Jazz also owned by SEG, which has 12,000 unobstructed view seats for hockey. The plan is to expand that number to roughly 17,500.
