That’s right: The 2024-25 NHL season is coming up fast, which fantasy hockey prep time is officially here.

And, as usual, we’re sure you’re already hard at work on the research for your upcoming draft before the puck drops on the 2024-25 season in October (here are some sleepers to consider).

The only thing missing? You need the perfect team name as the season approaches.

That’s where this list comes in. As we’ve done with other sports like fantasy football, we’re rounding up the best, punny team names (that we could print), a collection of gems from around the internet, with links to credit to the sites and tweets that came up with them.

Here they are, in no particular order:

1. ChabotGPT
