Looking at concussions and spinal injuries, it seems to me that NFL suffers more from spinal injuries and hockey suffers more from concussions.
So UTAH Concussion?
People that say this say it for the most ridiculous reason. A freak accident in Europe doesn’t not influence the NHL. NHL players have literally died on ice during an NHL game before and nothing changed. Dozens and dozens of professional hockey players have died on ice. How many millions of people have hurricanes, panthers, avalanches, fire, etc. killed? How many people did the Black Hawks kill while they raped and pillaged their rival tribes?
Give it a rest. Cutthroat is a banger of a name and would be awesome to adopt.
Lol. You really don't see the difference here? I like the name, it's just not good for hockey. I don't think your comparison examples are even close to relevant
Lol. Yup, totally comparable. AND totally reasonable to think "you must be a pussy if you can't handle cutthroat!"
Not even remotely applicable. Anyhoo, carry on!
Just like how we name teams Heart Attacks, Head Traumas, Spinal Cord Injuries, etc.
It's in poor taste to name a team Cutthroats when hockey players have literally had their throats cut. There's plenty of other good names, we don't need to use the one that's least tasteful.
Political correctness? Take that shit and shove it, my guy.
Native Americans can decide if it's a problem or not. They don't seem to have an issue with the team name Utes, so that's that.
Might as well call ourselves the Utah Assholes or Utah Dicks if you're the one to represent the fan base.
To be fair, Cutthroat first doesn't work because it's too edgy and juvenile.
But because of the accident that happens, it's actually the right amount of edge for a hockey team.
It's still a silly name. But you need a certain amount of silliness in branding.
Hockey is a dangerous sport played by dangerous men.
Utah Apache would have been great for weird reasons, which I might be wrong about as I’m not very knowledgeable about these facts I might be about to say and aren’t interested in googling.
1. I think only 2-5 major sports teams do not end with the Letter S, and that’s because most teams are words that are pluralized, as in refers to a group. Three exceptions are Utah jazz, Seattle Kraken and Colorado avalanche.
I believe Apache is already considered the pluralized term for a group of Apache. I personally don’t live in an area where the Apache where ever located and I also don’t believe I have ever been on their historical land, so forgive me if I’m wrong on this.
Anyways, I believe this would make the team name unique, or at least rare in the fact that it is a name that isn’t necessarily a singular and also doesn’t end in the Letter S.
2. The redskins and the cubs renaming of course set a precedent that makes it hard to name anything after minority groups. Regardless of how the ownership group plans to portray the franchise and the name Utah Apaches, it’s impossible to make everyone happy.
3. Hopefully the name brings a little more attention to the USA’s history with Native Americans, which while some people may view as unnecessary, the Native Americans still had of Values that people could still learn from.
4. The way old Paperback Nickel western novels wrote up Apaches, what a name to carry into a hockey arena. And then we have Warriors on skates to keep the name relevant and not just a relic that had been used to scare settlers in the 1800’s.
Yeah, I had some part typed up that pretty much said ‘ the minorities of the minority’s will make a loud noise about how terrible the name is’ and sometimes it’s not even a directly related party, like you just said.
It’s virtually ALWAYS a party that isn’t even affected.
Apaches could be a cool name, for sure, including some type of implementation of an AH-64. Especially since we have a squadron of them in the Utah NG.
Instead of Pando, it should be Trembling Giants (another name for aspen because they are GIANT and tremble/quake). We could call them Giants for short.
Fun fact: Pando is the largest organism on earth.
Utah Pando would be pretty dope actually
When I think of Pando I think of the song by Desiigner - “Panda” . We could chant Pando tho? Maybe? Or am I alone on this lol.
pando pando pando
Cutthroat will NEVER happen.
It's like calling an NFL team the "Head Crushers"
Looking at concussions and spinal injuries, it seems to me that NFL suffers more from spinal injuries and hockey suffers more from concussions. So UTAH Concussion?
It would be a badass nickname though... "Utah Cutthroats"
As long as the logo is a fish it's fine

Players have died when their jets crashed before. Are we banning Winnipeg now? Grow a sack.

Take your political correctness elsewhere. This is Utah, not Colorado. I bet you also protest Native American based team names, too. Grow a sack.

I would be happy with any of these three. I like these way more than what’s currently trade marked

You forgot Lightning and Wild. There are four in the NHL alone. Apache won’t work because white liberals will cry about it.

Utah arches!
Call them the Disciples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints Hockey Club Inc already
