First of all, it’s not “a” Wasatch. It’s THE Wasatch. As in, the Wasatch Mountains, which are in Utah. Totally makes sense. It’s apparently a word in the Ute language that means “mountain pass.”

The Utah Hockey Club's Utah Wasatch nickname idea didn't last long. It has been dropped for a previous option after one night of fan voting.

The Utah Hockey Club has removed "Utah Wasatch" from consideration for a new team name, replacing it with "Utah Outlaws" in fan voting.

Less than 24 hours after naming Wasatch to the list of three finalists for the new nickname of the Utah Hockey Club, it has been axed from consideration.

If you didn’t like the Utah Wasatch as a replacement name for the Utah Hockey Club, don’t worry. Smith Entertainment Group announced on Thursday that due to fan feedback, that name is out of the running. It will be replaced with the highly requested Utah Outlaws.

Wasatch, named for the Wasatch mountain range in Utah, has been swapped out with Outlaws, the team announced on Thursday. It will join Hockey Club and Mammoth, which made the final four after an initial fan vote last year, as the three options fans will be able to vote on during the team's current four-game homestand.
