something that speaks to the region or its history.
The Jazz has eventually become synonymous with SLC, but there are some funny historical articles poking fun at Utah bearing the Jazz moniker, which was the farthest thing from New Orleans Jazz culture.
The NHL in particular has most of its clubs bearing a name with a local connection.
A few examples of NHL teams with a name related to their history, culture, geography, or natural surroundings:
Colorado Avalanche
Toronto Maple Leafs
Seattle Kraken
Vancouver Canucks
Chicago Blackhawks
New York Islanders
Edmonton Oilers
St. Louis Blues
Carolina Hurricanes
Columbus Blue Jackets
San Jose Sharks
Montreal Canadiens
Ottawa Senators
Washington Capitals
Even the soon to be relocated Coyotes, as well as former franchises such as the Hartford Whalers, Quebec Nordiques and Minnesota North Stars got it right.
This is your chance Utah.
