Of course, fans were already well aware of what name was coming. Some social-media users noticed the club's YouTube account had changed its handle to @UtahMammoth in April, and the franchise declined to confirm or deny if the leak was real.

With a name in place, the Mammoth can finally end a saga that went through an extraordinary amount of phases and possibilities before landing on an option that was there from Day 1.
Why did it take this long for the Utah Hockey Club to find a new name?
The Hockey Club nickname was instituted on an interim basis last summer, with 20 options presented for a fan vote. The possibilities were largely snow and mountain-themed, including the Mammoth, along with options such as the Swam, Fury and Hive. That list was eventually narrowed to six finalists: the incumbent Hockey Club, the Mammoth, the Yeti, the Outlaws, the Venom and the Blizzard.
And then the team picked the Mammoth from that group, right?
Wrong! While those six options were put up for a fan vote, those results were never revealed. Months later, it was reported the club was scrapping its choice of the Yeti due to a copyright issue with the Yeti cooler company, and so the matter was sent to a third round of voting with the options consisting of the Hockey Club, the Mammoth and a new combatant, the Wasatch.
In case you weren't aware, the Wasatch is the mountain range overlooking Salt Lake City and was basically a go-around to use the team's Yeti-themed art with that specific name no longer an option. Fans hated it so much it was replaced by the Outlaws on the ballot before voting even finished.
And now, we have a winner, after three rounds of voting and 21 different names put forward by the team. Utah can finally rally around the Mammoth.

Trader Joe's collabs with Bay FC on viral mini tote giveaway

Bay FC fans hoping to get their hands on Trader Joe's wildly popular mini tote bags — the same ones listed on the secondary market for as much as $49,000 online earlier this year — will soon have their chance. In a new collaboration between the women's professional soccer club and the grocery chain, ticketed attendees at Bay FC's home match on Aug. 2 against the Houston Dash will receive an exclusive, co-branded mini tote upon entry. The giveaway capitalizes on the national frenzy sparked earlier this year when Trader Joe's pastel-colored canvas totes sold out within minutes and flooded resale sites at eye-popping prices. Now, Bay FC's custom version will be offered as part of its multi-year partnership with the grocer — the company's first with a National Women's Soccer League team. 'We're thrilled to provide a fun, memorable experience for fans,' Bay FC said in its announcement last week, encouraging early arrivals for pre-match FanFest activities. These include an on-stage grocery bagging contest, a Trader Joe's-themed scavenger hunt and giveaways. While the collectible totes will be permitted at the Aug. 2 match, officials note they do not meet PayPal Park's standard bag policy and will be barred at future games.

There's more to do in Stark County than football. Options include art, pinball, wine, beer

Football, football, football. The famous sport is an integral part of Stark County's identity. During the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival especially, when the NFL's greatest players are honored. That's when Canton will be in the spotlight. And thousands of football fans will flock here for the enshrinement and related activities. But there's more to Stark County than football. And if festival visitors or Stark County residents are looking for a change of pace and other cultural attractions to explore, they're in luck because the Canton-Massillon area is loaded with them. Museums, historic sites, good eats and cool stuff. Here are several alternatives to touchdowns and field goals: 1. Massillon Museum Massillon is as football loving as you can get. Legendary coach Paul Brown has close ties to the city and its football heritage. And the high school team won a state championship in 2023. But the city also boasts the Massillon Museum, a diverse hub of art and culture while also paying tribute to the city's affinity for football. Permanent and rotating exhibits are spread over multiple floors. Paintings, sculptures, photography and other artistic mediums are showcased. Permanent exhibits include the Immel Circus Gallery, a fascinating portal into the past. Ancient circus memorabilia is displayed, including posters, costumes and souvenirs. There's also an elaborate miniature model of a throwback circus featuring hand-carved pieces. The 100-square-foot miniature circus contains 2,620 pieces: 36 elephants, 186 horses, 102 assorted animals, 91 wagons, seven tents, and 2,207 people. And for those craving football, check out the Paul Brown-themed exhibit area. Just like the rest of the museum, it's highly informative, expertly curated, and is chock-full of mementoes and documents. Massillon Museum is at 121 Lincoln Way E. Admission is free. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. 2. Hartville Looking for a place to relax and enjoy the outdoors while still being within a reasonable driving distance of the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Hartville is your place, and it has two must-see attractions. Hartville MarketPlace & Flea Market and Maize Valley Winery and Brewery.

And the outdoor flea market is a sprawling maze of vendors who sell produce, sports cards, antiques, comic books and other items. Hartville MarketPlace & Flea Market are at 1289 Edison St. NW.

Specialty drinks include wine slushies, and mocktails and cocktails made with a blueberry lavender syrup using lavender grown on the grounds. Sixteen craft beers are on tap at Maize Valley, and beer is also canned and sold on-site. Seasonal events are also offered. 3. Presidential history and more Canton offers two stops for presidential history: McKinley Presidential Library & Museum and the National First Ladies Library & Museum. However, the McKinley Museum, 800 McKinley Monument Drive NW, does more than pay homage to late President William McKinley. The museum also features historical exhibits such as the "Street of Shops," as well as a research library, interactive science center and planetarium. Also on-site is the McKinley National Memorial. Special exhibits include "Grandma & Grandpa's Attic" in the Keller Gallery, featuring vintage toys, clothing, furniture and other artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries. Admission is $15 to $17 at the family-friendly museum. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. Not far away in downtown Canton is the National First Ladies Library and Museum, which is dedicated to preserving and honoring the history of women who resided in the White House, from Martha Washington to Melania Trump. Influential women: From Martha to Melania: New exhibit at First Ladies museum in Canton has style, substance A new exhibit is visually stylized and influenced by pop music star Taylor Swift's massively successful "Eras Tour." Acclaimed artist Giulietta Tripoli designed "The Eras Exhibit: 250 Years of First Ladies Progress and Power." The exhibit chronicles the evolution of the role of presidential first ladies, and features intriguing mementoes, novel souvenirs and prized antiques from different time periods. As the only National Historic Site dedicated to all U.S. first ladies, the library and museum is partnering with the National Park Service on the exhibit. The First Ladies museum is at 205 Market Ave. S in downtown Canton. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and is closed Sunday and Monday. Tickets cost $7 for adults; $6 for seniors; and $5 for children age 18 and under. 4.

Another exhibit "This Riverbed is a Cradle," featuring the sculptural fiber art of Michelle Wentling.

BYD Group Becomes Global Automotive Partner of FC Internazionale Milano

MILAN, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BYD Group, global leader in electric vehicles and sustainable mobility, has entered into a major three-year strategic partnership with FC Internazionale Milano, becoming the club's official Global Automotive Partner. The collaboration marks one of the most significant cross-industry alliances between the automotive sector and professional football. The agreement includes a comprehensive collaboration between BYD and Inter, aimed at strengthening both brands' international presence and supporting joint growth strategies. BYD will provide approximately 70 vehicles to Inter's first-team players, coaching staff, and top management—offering access to the brand's latest innovations in electric and plug-in hybrid (DM-i) mobility. 'We are excited to collaborate with FC Internazionale Milano,' said Stella Li, Executive Vice President of BYD. 'Inter has a vast global fanbase, which aligns naturally with our brands, BYD and DENZA. Our organizations are inspired by passion, driven by innovation, and committed to investing in the talents of the future. I am confident we will explore exciting opportunities to shape this shared vision in the coming seasons.' Giorgio Ricci, Chief Revenue Officer of Inter, echoed the enthusiasm. 'We are extremely pleased to announce this new partnership, which brings together two global groups united by a constant drive toward the future and a pursuit of excellence. We are proud that the Group, with its BYD and DENZA brands, has chosen Inter as the first football club to partner with. This is a testament to the growing appeal of our brand on a global scale. This partnership opens new opportunities for activations and international content that can engage fans and consumers worldwide. Together, we aim to develop innovative projects that will further position the Group as a benchmark in the global sustainable mobility landscape.' A special Nerazzurri-themed edition of BYD's flagship model, the Sealion 7, will be the first vehicle made available to the club. This customized version will later be released in a limited edition for fans and collectors who want to combine their passion for Inter with state-of-the-art green mobility. Fan engagement is also central to the initiative. BYD is preparing exclusive purchasing and leasing programs dedicated to Inter supporters around the world. Details will be unveiled in the coming weeks, promising fans the chance to enjoy a unique experience behind the wheel of BYD vehicles tied to their favorite club. As BYD's premium brand DENZA prepares for its European debut, the partnership with Inter will serve as a cornerstone of the brand's launch strategy across key markets in the region. This agreement further strengthens BYD's presence in the world of football, following its role as an official sponsor of UEFA Euro 2024 and the UEFA Under-21 Championship. The Inter partnership reflects the company's broader goal of using sport as a platform to connect with millions of fans globally and promote sustainable mobility on a large scale.
