Star player may have revealed Utah Hockey Club's future team name

Forward Clayton Keller might have revealed the name during the NHL North American Players Media Tour.

Clayton Keller hints at the Utah Hockey Club's new name

When asked about the secret team name during the media event, Keller responded confidently.

His casual comment sent the internet buzzing. Could this really be the name, or was it just a guess?

«Yeti» has been one of the fan-favorite guesses circulating on social media, but another name, «Blizzard,» has been making rounds as well. Keller's comment, though, has sparked renewed enthusiasm.

Fans are now eagerly trying to figure out if Keller knows more than he's letting on, or if he's just making a light-hearted guess.

Utah Hockey Club is keeping the official name under wraps for now. Their decision not to disclose the team name during their inaugural season has led to further curiosity. The team may be waiting to perfect their branding, or perhaps the tight turnaround between the Arizona Coyotes' sale and Utah HC's first NHL season is the reason for the delay.

If you're a little more cynical, you could think it's a marketing strategy. Some fans believe the delay might be a clever way to sell two rounds of «inaugural» jerseys - one for the nameless season and another when the official name is revealed.

While Keller's «Yeti» prediction has fans excited, there's no official word yet on what the Utah Hockey Club will actually call themselves. Will the Yeti dominate season two, or will it be another surprise?

We'll just have to wait and see.
