Pat McAfee is pushing the owner to name the team Soakers. The owner is going to have a bracket to let the fans select the name.

That would be the ultimate troll since that is the name of the Coyotes AHL affiliate.

During his appearance on McAfee’s program, Smith detailed how the nickname of Utah’s NHL team would be chosen.
“We’re doing a bracket,” the NBA and NHL team owner told the former NFL punter.
Smith added that the bracket would begin with eight nicknames and trimmed down until the eventual winning name is decided. “We’re gonna take this down from like eight all the way down and the fans are gonna vote for this,” Smith detailed.

Who's allowed to vote and how are they doing it? If it's just a free for all on the internet, history has shown that's not exactly a good idea. They better come up with 8 names that they absolutely like because internet trolls are going to stuff the ballot to make sure the worst option wins. Restricting it to Utah IPs isn't going to work either in the days of VPNs. And mail in ballots for Utah addresses and in person voting seems like the best way to prevent troll votes and keep it contained to the locals, but sounds kind of arduous for a sports team nickname since there will by 3 rounds of it if they're doing bracket style with 8 options.

Ballot now available with several pre approved names. I voted for Yeti, Mammoth, Hive, and Swarm. You have to give your name and email to submit your selections. Smith sold his Qualtrics company for $8B, so I'd say he's smart enough to come up with a bracket to keep out all of the trolls.

I'm on board with anything that doesn't suck arse like Hockey Club. Yeti is my top choice.

Utah Yetis is a great name. Instantly one of the best in pro sports.
