He proposed the name "Kansas City Czars" as an appealing option.

"Gotta be something regal though. Chiefs, Royals, Monarchs, formerly the Kings. 'Kansas City Czars' would be pretty sweet."

Another fan expressed his support for Mahomes and emphasized that Kansas City deserves a hockey team. He even reminisced about the Topeka Scarecrows, a former minor league hockey team from the area, showcasing the existing passion for the sport in the region.

"I love this man. KC needs a hockey team and we deserve. Anyone remember the Topeka Scarecrows?"

Adam Best, a fan on Twitter, added a unique twist to the conversation, suggesting a name that would pay homage to Kansas City's rich barbecue history. Best proposed the name "KC Smoke," cleverly incorporating the city's renowned culinary tradition.

"First, awesome, Second, something like KC Smoke? Lean into the city’s storied BBQ history."

Mahomes' tweet not only demonstrates his love for hockey but also highlights the enthusiasm of Kansas City residents for the potential arrival of an NHL team. The prospect of having another major professional sports team (Arizona Coyotes) in the city has definitely sparked discussions among fans.
