Utah fans, it’s time to have your voice heard.

Starting Wednesday, fans can vote on an online poll to decide the name of the NHL's newest franchise.

Smith Entertainment Group (SEG), owner of the Utah franchise, is running the poll. The first round will go until May 22.

The poll lists 20 options compiled from an initial poll that ran last month, and fans can choose their top four options during the first round of voting.

The next steps will be announced by the owners later this summer.

For the inaugural season in 2024-25, the team will wear jerseys that display “Utah.” The team name will be implemented for the 2025-26 season, along with the logo, mascot and colors.

"Once the team name has been selected, SEG will work diligently to craft the team identity – logo, mascot, colors, and other branding elements – which will debut for the 2025-26 NHL season," SEG said.
