📖 Real Team Naming Stories (Including the Utah Controversy)

Ever wonder how NHL teams got their iconic names?

🦆 The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim

Disney created this team after the success of the “Mighty Ducks” movie franchise. While initially criticized as too commercial, the name gained cult status and was later rebranded to Anaheim Ducks.

🐻 Boston Bruins

“Bruin” is an old term for a bear. In 1924, owner Charles Adams wanted a fierce animal name with a brown-and-yellow theme — and “Bruins” fit both the bill and the jersey.

🐘 Utah Hockey Club Naming Drama (2024)

When Arizona Coyotes relocated to Utah, fans eagerly awaited a new name. After months of speculation and voting, the name Utah Hockey Club was unveiled — which led to backlash. Many fans wanted “Mammoth,” “Yeti,” or something regionally iconic. This sparked debates around fan inclusion, identity, and branding misfires.

 Legal Tips Before You Lock Your Name

Before printing merch or building a site:

• ✅ Google your team name + “hockey”
• ✅ Check trademarks via USPTO TESS
• ✅ Search Instagram, X (Twitter), and domain names
• ✅ Don’t mimic NHL names too closely — cease-and-desists are real!

Example: “The Ice Kings” youth team was sued by a minor league team. Design smart.
