How to Choose a Good Fantasy Hockey Team Name

The best fantasy hockey team names are short enough for your fantasy app, easy for the rest of the league to understand and funny without needing an explanation. Player puns usually work best after the draft because they can match someone on your roster. Hockey, draft and waiver jokes are safer long-term because they still make sense after trades.

If you are stuck between two names, post both in the league group chat and use whichever gets the stronger reaction. For a real hockey team instead of a fantasy roster, browse beer league hockey team names. Need material for league trash talk? Visit the Hockey Chirp Library or browse the best hockey chirps.
