Top 10 Coolest NHL Hockey Team Names
We're not just talking about catchy or well-designed names. We're on the lookout for names that resonate, that have a back-story or a significance, names that are memorable and can ignite the passion and fervor of the fans. Maybe it's a name reflecting the fierceness and power of a wild animal, or perhaps it symbolizes the unique culture or geography of the team's home city, radiating local pride. Or it could be a name that's just downright fun and playful.
Cool name, and there are a lot of cool fire-related songs that the arena can play, and they usually do!
The Calgary Flames are the best! Go Flames Go! Watch out, because they might burn you!
Not because I am a Flames fan, but the goal horn, the music, the name is just beast.
Awesome name. Great for it too. I think the Panthers should be banished, kicked out of the NHL forever though. Old players play for the Panthers, but I love the name of the Tampa Bay Lightning, although I am not a fan of them.
Lightning is the best name in the NHL, but the team? NO!
Great team, name, jerseys, and players!
This is epic, like a clash between the Avengers and the Expendables. Where else do you hear a team called the Predators?
How is Flyers a cooler name than Predators?
I am a Boston fan and even love this logo.
Cool name, and I like the team colors. The logo is okay, but the old one from '97-'06 was so much cooler.
Not the best team, but definitely the coolest name.
It's an avalanche. Literally, that's beyond cool.
It's offensive (to skiers) but awesome!
The name Flyers is cool and innovative because what can you relate it to? Lightning is generic. Predators is a cool name and not as generic as Lightning, but still generic.
They are named after one of the most famous cryptids in the world.
Go name a basketball team the FLAMES! Both hockey and penguins are related to ice. The Pens name and team are better than the Flyers.
Pittsburgh's better than all you other teams. Don't try to deny the truth!
ALL Pittsburgh teams have the greatest names! Penguins, Steelers, and Pirates!
Flyers? Flamers? Blues? Phillies? Browns? What is that?!
I love the Hurricanes. The crowd is hyped up, the storm alarm, and the storm surge are amazing! Very promising team in the future.
One of the most dangerous storms to ever exist.
The Newcomers
Yeah, it's a cool name, and it was taken to somewhere it doesn't belong! The NORTH Stars was way cooler than the "Stars."
A name that actually sounds like it belongs in hockey, unlike Panthers or Predators.
Should be higher up. They are actually named after a fierce animal and not a star or a penguin. Those are some sad names for a team.
The Canadiens are an awesome team name because we should always respect Canada and its people.
Um, yeah, hockey is a Canadian sport.
I searched for a "sports star" because I had to write about one for school. I searched for a hockey player, so I searched for a team first. The New York Rangers - this name was so cool, so I chose them and found Rick Nash. He is my favorite player now, and I am a real Rangers fan!
Back then, Indians had different styles of names, which is cool, and a Blackhawk is my favorite.
The name, plus the Indian head logo!
Under-ranked at less than 10?! Let's show some more respect for this great team.
Well, what's better than an orca? This should be higher than the Sharks, Panthers, and Kings.
Do you even know what this is? The best name. DUH.
Music is cool. Make a hockey team's name!
