The players had been introduced to Utah. They’d been greeted by hundreds of youth hockey players at the airport; toured Delta Center and Utah Jazz headquarters; and come back to the arena to find about 12,400 people packed inside for a welcome event.

Now they introduced themselves as Utah’s new NHL team. On stage before a raucous crowd Wednesday, they were supposed to state their names, positions and hometowns one by one. But they were so emotional, so inspired, they couldn’t help but fire up the fans further.
Clayton Keller grabbed the mic and yelled, “Utah! How we doin’?” Lawson Crouse took it and yelled, “Let’s make some more noise!” Nick Bjugstad yelled, “Let’s go!” Liam O'Brien told the fans they could call him “Spicy Tuna,” and Jack McBain led a “Spicy Tuna” chant.
“This is honestly one of the coolest experiences we’ve all had as hockey players,” Alex Kerfoot told the crowd.

moved from vancouver to slc for my wife and stepdaughter, and I'm from Calgary. absolutely thrilled to get a second NHL team, and people doubting utah as a hockey or pro sports market are delusional. i was blown away how passionate sports fans are here in UT and tons of people are dying to get NHL here

@rp1ten Месяц назад

I agree with you. They do love their Jazz and their soccer club, Real Salt Lake! Speaking of Vancouver, I love that city. Even the Asian population love their Canucks! Incredible.

@canforusa Месяц назад

Another Vancouverite here who moved to Utah. I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment that the doubters are delusional. Unless you live here, you have no idea what this market is like. A big, beautiful multi-billion dollar facility coming to the downtown core in the years to come and over 20,000 making a deposit on season tickets, there is no doubt in my mind it will be a huge success and the envy of many already established markets.

@CanuckGod Месяц назад

While I'm not from Utah, I grew up in Winnipeg and now live in Calgary. I cheered for this franchise (though technically the NHL seems to consider it a new franchise, it still has some continunity with it) at one point when it was the original Winnipeg Jets but couldn't bring myself to cheer for the Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes after they left my hometown, but I imagine that the excitement for a new team in Arizona in 1996 was much the same as Utah now has for its new team. It's just a shame that business-related and arena issues caused this team to move twice, so I don't ever wish that on the new Utah fans. On a happy note, Winnipeg did get an NHL team back (in 2011 at the expense of Atlanta), so now I'm both a Vancouver Canucks fan - the team I chose after the first Jets left - and a fan of the new Winnipeg Jets as well. Best of wishes to the Utah fans in the future, hockey is an amazing sport.

@GMPMHockey Месяц назад

Not surprised to see Coyotes jerseys there. There's a huge portion of hockey fans in Utah who became Coyotes fans when they moved from Winnipeg. To them, this move complicates nothing, but just gives them the option of showing up locally to support the team they've been behind all along. As someone who knows a lot of those local Coyotes fans, I can assure you there's no ill intent behind anyone showing up with their merch. I've talked on my own channel about this, but before the talk turned so decisively toward relocation, one challenge an expansion team would face in Utah would be all those long-standing hockey fans with established loyalties, I honestly thought it would be a challenge for them to become anything more than "the locals' second-favorite team. Bringing the Coyotes in instead offers that incumbent portion of the fanbase (I honestly think that was a master stroke by SEG), and I'm also impressed with the number of untapped potential fans that are just getting into hockey because of this. They'll do wonderfully here.

@friendlyNemesis Месяц назад

I was living in Colorado in '95 when the Quebec Nordiques moved to CO. I had no clue what was going on - heard some stuff on the radio (the DJs were big hockey fans). I was mildly curious - then they hit town and I went from 0 to 1,000 in a blink. I was addicted. My immediate family & social circle were ho-hum about it all, so I watch & learned by myself. The memories I have of learning about hockey when they came to town ... and then they won the cup that year too. It was electric - It was G4 in FL, 4:31 minutes into a Triple OT and Uwe Krupp took a shot from the blue line by the benches. I STILL remember that feeling. I lived on that adrenaline for a good week. I have 'infected' many with the love of Hockey since and now we get to have a team here in Utah and I couldn't be more excited. Wouldn't it be so cool if in Utah's inaugural hockey year .... 😉😉

@omulei1797 Месяц назад

I started taking interest as the news came out about a team coming here, and was able to catch the final Coyotes game. I’ve become a fan of these guys and hockey overnight. The playoff games have been a blast to watch too. I’m pumped for this new team and these players, in some unfortunate but unique circumstances. Coyotes fans, rest assured that we’ll take good care of your guys here. The welcoming event is just a small taste of what to expect from our fans ❤️

@GMPMHockey Месяц назад

Absolutely gutted for the Arizona fans. Just important for everyone to remember that us not getting the team wouldn't mean Arizona kept them. We'd just be having the same conversation about Houston. All we can realistically do is send our sincere condolences to the fans in Arizona, wish them the best in getting a team back, and do right by the team here in Utah.

@aequitasmurphy Месяц назад

I appreciate both of you guys. I've been a huge Yotes fan since inception and it's been a hard month to say the least. I'll still be supporting and cheering on the boys and the Utah NHL Team. I'm just glad we'll be able to watch them, at least for this season, locally in AZ. You guys inherited a great up and coming team that's about to really break out. The GM has been building the team the right way in his very short time with the franchise. It's the worst pain possible losing the team, at least they're finally being treated right by an owner. I really hope we get a team back, just hope it's not with our current ownership group.

@ulical Месяц назад

I was there for this...stood in line three hours for the doors to open and then another 90 minutes in the seats before the event began...the place was so packed, people were hanging from the rafters. The Fire Marshal eventually stopped access to the building because there were so many people inside the arena, that it was creating a hazard in case of an emergency. Some details...the first 5K inside got two free tickets to a Utah Hockey Club or Jazz preseason game...the Smiths provided free food and drinks for all attendees inside the arena....also held raffles during the event where, among other things, a kid a couple of rows to my left won two season tickets for the inaugural season in Utah...finally, after the event finished, the arena and concessions was kept open and fans were allowed to stay inside the arena and watch that evening's Stanley Cup playoff games. No question, this event was done right...

@tyandbrand Месяц назад

I went to the event and Utah showed up as I thought they would. Ryan & Ashley Smith were very kind giving out free hot dogs, cookies and drinks. The place was packed and I heard they unfortunately had to turn some late comers away. My brother brought one of his friends that wasn't even a hockey fan but was planning to buy tickets, learn the rules and support the team just because it was now a Utah team. Heard a lot of the same sentiment. The players seemed quite shocked by the reception and they will certainly sell out night in and out. Whatever the plan is to make it work in terms of a new arena whether that's gutting the Delta Center and renovating it to support both hockey and basketball, this team is going to get a TON of support.

@Fatblue246 Месяц назад

for the NHL in particular this is really out of the ordinary as well. The league is far more team centric rather than individual player centric in terms of presentation, and even when there are huge talents like Bedard etc., they don't push them as individual storylines but rather try to work it into a team storyline on the whole. There are pros and cons to this, but one of the major cons has been players not really showing as much of their personality, and as a result NHL interviews largely feeling the same. This gives a very different energy and clearly shows the experience with other sporting ventures the Smith ownership group has. With how well coordinated these events were and their overall arrival they really knocked it out of the park. Really removed a lot of the bad energy around the move with the respect and care that is being shown to the team and to the opportunity they were given from the NHL.

He's got his 1 weak ass talking point that he heard from someone else & sticking to it. He's hoping that if he says it enough, others might start parroting it as well.

@saviorlegend Dude. You have visitation rights. SLC just a short drive to take in a game.

@KWally Месяц назад

SEG hoodwinking the NHL saying they'll build a new building, then reneging on that. We all know this team should be in houston.

@brodiebrazil Месяц назад

redoing delta center probably the better fit, tbh

@tyandbrand Месяц назад

You apparently think it should be in Houston. What I know is that Utah will support this team and a 500 million dollar renovation to the Delta Center and 400 million dollars spent for the sports district surrounding it will be very well done and it will be a great venue. But maybe you'll get a hockey team in the future.

As much as I hate to see the Coyotes leave Arizona it was a good decision. Hopefully Arizona once they get their crap together, we get the coyotes back. But there are far worse places they could’ve relocated to the Salt Lake City.

They say that home is wherever you find love, so I guess the guys followed the right VORTAC...I wish them the best, and good on the Utah fans for what can only be called an outburst of positivity...Enjoy those free hotdogs though. Guaranteed they'll never be free again... 😂 ...Now I need a nap to recover from those purple pants... 😩 ...Where's my Tylenol?...

@michaelmarkowski204 Месяц назад

Didn't those people get into the Delta Center free of charge....? If they offered a free chicken shawarma instead of a hot dog, I would've considered showing up, and I live in the GTA.

Utah Olympians sounds appropriate

This is not only great for the city but it's great for the players as well - especially the impending free agents who were thinking of leaving the team at the end of the year. Coming from a situation where you playing in a college arena as a last resort to THIS bangin' reception (far better than any in Arizona)... I'm thinking some free agents might just end up re-signing with the team. If I was FA and attended this event, I'd strongly reconsider staying if I was thinking of moving on.

Thank you.

@michaelmarkowski204 Месяц назад

A lot of superstar athletes like to play for a team in a big city with plenty of action / big money endorsement opportunities, thus the reason why many free agents gravitate to New York, LA, Houston, Chicago, Boston, etc., over and above the contract offers.

Utah Yeti. Sponsored by Yeti. Playing at the Yeti Center.

@stevef1748 Месяц назад

Why not the Stanley cups? Sponsored by Stanley, playing at the Stanley Center and the direct competitor of Yeti tumblers. 😂

@michaelmarkowski204 Месяц назад

Ryan Smith isn't ready to announce a nickname yet-i (see what I just did there...?). Should be the Utah Yeti (singular). Blizzard would be my second choice as you could still have an abominable snowman creature on the logo, as the team mascot, on merchandise, etc. Plus, a pre-game blizzard light show in the arena. Agreement with Dairy Queen for special edition Blizzard cups, etc.

@jlo2o199 Месяц назад

Like the idea of a singular “yeti” “ Utah yeti” can’t imagine it would work as a TEAM name though..unless mcdavids on the team. Lol. I think yeti would be plural for multiple yetis anyways, right? Yetis sounds so awkward. Let’s hope yeti is the official term for plural yeti because it sounds good

@michaelmarkowski204 Месяц назад

Agree. Utah Yeti. Second choice: Utah Blizzard.
