The Ultimate List of Hockey Team Names:
Hilarious, Clever, Dirty, Unique, Female-Friendly, and More
Pick a team name, then let us help you make custom hockey jerseys for the squad!
Ordering jerseys for your hockey team is a process. It's not like picking up a few extra pucks or the post game brews: you need a logo, team colours, sizing, payment from the team (arguably the most important part), some time for us to print and ship them...but it all starts generating a team name.
No team name = no sweaters, sorry boys and girls!
Now, we didn't want to baffle you with one of these annoying lists where you scroll through hundreds of names not knowing where to stop. Just like when you're ordering your jerseys, we've tried to make it easy by breaking these names into sub-categories. There's a time and place for every team name: you wouldn't want your child's team named "Book Hockey", but sometimes your beer league squad needs to spice it up a bit more than something generic and overused like "Leafs" or "Warriors".
Now, let us assure you: most of this list is comprised of real team names that have been used by a team somewhere, at some point. We've even provided pictures when we've created them ourselves for customers and managed to snag a pic!
Here's how we've divided up our team name list:
- Awesome Hockey Team Names
- Hilariously Funny Hockey Team Names
- Best Beer League Hockey Team Names
- Creative Hockey Team Names
- Youth Hockey Team Name Ideas
- Inappropriate, Dirty, and NSFW Hockey Team Names
- Women's Hockey Team Names
- Clever Hockey Team Names
- Unique Hockey Team Name Ideas
- NHL and PWHL Team Names
- Minor League, NCAA, and Junior Hockey Team Names
- Defunct Pro Hockey Team Names
- Hockey Team Names Borrowed from Other Sports

11. Minor League, College, and Junior Hockey Team Names
Okay, they're maybe not quite as goofy as some of the ones we found when we compiled our list of best baseball team names, but the minors are a great source of team names if you're looking for a "traditional" feel without picking something that's overused. The "Wheeling Nailers" will always be our favourite though (Wheeling is the name of the town in West Virginia, if you were wondering).
We've compiled these team names from far and wide: NCAA, OHL, WHL, QMJHL, NAHL, Junior B and C....heck, even the defunct Roller Hockey International and Professional Inline Hockey Association. This category is a treasure trove of names with well over 100 team name ideas in this category alone.

12. Defunct Pro Hockey Team Names
We’ve been making jerseys since 2014, and one of the most popular categories for team names is inspired by defunct pro teams. While factors like the “retro” vibe certainly play a role, we think the biggest reason is their neutral appeal. Defunct teams are less likely to stir up strong or negative emotions among teammates. For example, in over a decade of business, we can’t recall a single team requesting a name inspired by the Habs!
Important note if you're ordering jerseys for your rec team with one of these team names: you cannot rip off their logos exactly. It's illegal without proper permissions. What you can do though (and we're more than happy to help at no extra charge) is make tweaks to the logo to make it a unique design!

"Bulls" in Waterloo, Ontario
"Whalers" in Toronto, Ontario
13. Hockey Team Name Ideas Borrowed From Other Sports
For similar reasons—neutral appeal—borrowing team names from other sports is also a popular choice among our customers. Many teams enjoy adapting branding and color palettes from other sports to create unique hockey jerseys.
