Utah Hockey Club GM Bill Armstrong accidentally leaks the team's name

In that interview, where they discussed picks Tij Iginla at sixth overall, the son of hockey hall of fame Jarome Iginla, and powerful sniper out of the WHL, as well as athletic centre Cole Beaudoin later in the first round, Bill Armstrong made a big mistake.

Rather than referring to the players as members of the Utah Hockey Club, Bill Armstrong seems to have leaked the team name, calling them the Utah Yetis. The Yetis have been a frontrunner since the franchise was announced in April, along with other names such as the Outlaws and Venom, but it appears the Yetis have won out.

Here are the two players they drafted, Tij Iginla and Cole Beaudoin, in their Utah Hockey Club jerseys:

With Utah Hockey Club owner Ryan Smith having pledged to chose a team name for the 2025-26 season, the clock is ticking. Will Bill Armstrong's leak come to fruition? We will have to wait and see - for now, Utah fans can celebrate their first ever two players drafted.
