Utah Hockey Club will be the name of the NHL team playing its games in Salt Lake City beginning this fall, with a long-term identity still to come.

In concert with the $1.2 billion sale of the team closing, Smith Entertainment Group announced the move Thursday and unveiled the initial logos and jerseys that will be used in 2024–25. Ryan Smith’s company, which also owns the NBA’s Utah Jazz, bought the team formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes in April.
