It’s impressive how far hockey has come, literally. It wasn’t that long ago that hockey was the province of the provinces, Scandanavia, and some other select, super-cold cities.
Now, southern cities like Tampa Bay are winning Stanley Cups. Youth enrollment’s up, even in deserts like Phoenix or LA.
With this influx of players, we will need some all-new hockey team names. So let’s go top shelf with our best twisted wristers.

Cool Hockey Team Name Ideas
Here are some cool ice hockey team names, no pun intended. Actually, never mind – quite a few hockey puns were intended.
Hockey Schtick
Epic Enforcers
Hockey enforcers are known for disrupting the peace. This could also be a cool wrestling name, but enforcers are wrestling are there to preserve the peace.

Hockey combines the creativity and artistry of basketball with the ferocity and power of football (not to mention the coldness of sled racing and the not-being-able-to-stopness of a hydroplaning Humvee).

Beasts of the Baseline
Baseline is more of a field hockey term, but that’s close enough. Maybe this is a better tennis team name?
Moves Like Jagr

No hockey team wants to drag along an anchor. Anchors exist in eSports as well – referring to a poor player but also a defensive player whose primary role is to defend a specific space. This makes it a funny esports team name as well.

Puck Norris
Ok, he’s not technically a hockey player. But are you going to tell Chuck Norris he doesn’t belong?
