The Utah Hockey Club is reconsidering adopting “Utah Outlaws” as a team name following fan feedback.
The NHL’s newest hockey team said Thursday night the first night of in-arena fan voting made it “clear” the Outlaws should be considered over the Wasatch, a Utah mountain range.
Fans will now be able to choose between the Utah Outlaws, Utah Mammoth and Utah Hockey Club when voting for the club’s permanent name at Delta Center.
