I was scrolling through live scores today. Masters. MLB. NHL. The dreaded drought between football seasons. Then I spotted something.
UTA.
What is that? I said to myself.
So I clicked in.
The Utah Mammoth.
Apparently they’re fairly new. And apparently I live under a hockey rock.
TIL.
I can’t be the only one, can I?
It's a terrible name but so is the Kraken.
it definitely feels totally made up, like something you’d see in a movie that didn’t want to pay for using real names. maybe I won’t feel that way in 20 years

ok, that’s actually kinda cool
I don't like the team name but I respect them for leaning into it.
I didn't know that name until I started paying some attention to NHL when we started the pod.
I see GR shared this almost a year ago. I guess I just missed it!
