<p>The wait is finally over. The <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/combinations">Vancouver Canucks</a> have a new rival. After riding with the &#8220;Utah Hockey Club&#8221; title for their inaugural 2024-2025 season, the organization and the fans have decided to roll with:</p>
<p>The Utah Mammoth.</p>
<div class="bam-inline-promotion-block" data-max-length="2" data-placement-id="2111" data-context="web-content-promocard" data-property-id="329"></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mammoth owners Ryan and Ashley Smith released a statement regarding the choice:</p>
<p>“We couldn&#8217;t be more excited to launch the official name and marks for Utah&#8217;s NHL hockey team. When it came to naming the team, we did something unprecedented – going through four rounds of community voting, including getting feedback not only on potential names but also on potential logos.</p>
<p>&#8220;We love the passion of the people of Utah and the way they showed up for the team during its inaugural season, and the energy they brought to voting on its permanent identity.</p>
<p>“From day one, we committed that this team would be built with and for the people of Utah, and we are excited to celebrate today’s launch with the entire state. The community chose the Utah Mammoth, and it stands as a symbol of who we are, where we came from, and the unstoppable force we’re building together.”</p>
<p>Utah took over the former Arizona Coyotes, in what was a relocation move of the old franchise. The club elected to go with the Hockey Club for the first season, holding a fan vote in order to pick the next name. The three original name options for the team name were: Utah Hockey Club, Utah Mammoth and Utah Yeti.</p>
<p>While the Utah Yeti became the early runaway favourite, league issues with name branding with the Yeti cooler company nixed the name. They quickly added &#8220;Utah Wasatch&#8221; to the list of options. However, that raised some eyebrows around the league and was quickly switched to the &#8220;Utah Bandits.&#8221;</p>
<p>There were three potential logos leaked for the fans to vote on. Here were those options:</p>

<p>The Hockey Club option appears to represent what the potential Yeti logo would have looked like.</p>
<p>This version of the Mammoth logo is a little bit different from the one suggested. It appears to be a combination of the Mammoth and Hockey Club/Yeti. Nonetheless, it is still a very intricate one.</p>
