by STEPHEN WHYNO AP Hockey WriterWorkers added the NHL logo to the Delta Center Thursday, April 18, 2024 following the announcement by the NHL and Jazz owner Ryan Smith that the NHL is coming to 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.
The short timeline of relocating the club could mean it has a placeholder name for the first season, like the Professional Women's Hockey League did for year one or Washington's NFL team had in 2020 and '21 before becoming the Commanders.“It’ll be Utah something, obviously,” Smith said. "It’s really important that we’re not saying, ‘Hey, this has to be ready by the fall,’ especially when it’s going to be Utah something.
“We want to actually use our arena and really spend time creating the best dual-sport arena that exists out there because we want to keep people as close as we possibly can or as vertical as we possibly can to watch both games,” Smith said. “It’s super fun and challenging, but we’re going to do it.”
