Star forward Clayton Keller may have revealed the Utah Hockey Club's future NHL team name.
During the NHL North American Players Media Tour, Keller was asked about the team's upcoming name and responded,
"It sounds like it's going to be the Yeti, but I don't know. We'll see what happens" (NHL.com).
This statement has sparked excitement and speculation among fans, as "Yeti" has been a popular choice on social media.
Utah HC has not officially announced their team name, potentially to ensure its branding is perfect or to create a buzz with two rounds of "inaugural" jerseys. With Keller's comment stirring the pot, fans eagerly await the official reveal. Whether "Yeti" is the final choice, the anticipation has certainly grown. Fans will have to wait to see if Keller's prediction comes true in season two or if the team surprises everyone with a different name.
