The NHL announced the Phoenix Coyotes would be moving to Utah for the 2024 – 2025 season.
They still have not released an official name, so I’ll beat them to it:
The Utah Bandits
Why “Bandits?”
Utah used to be part of the Wild West, where the likes of Butch Cassidy, the “Sundance Kid,” the Wild Bunch, and many other outlaws took refuge in a place called Robbers Roost in Southeastern Utah.
Also because the people of Phoenix feel “robbed” of a hockey team they never truly loved or supported until they were gone.
