Upon their arrival at the airport, players and coaches were greeted by a crowd of approximately 100 young hockey players chanting “Go, Utah! Go, Utah!” The team later attended a fan celebration at the packed Delta Center, where many fans were turned away at the doors due to the overwhelming turnout.

Coach André Tourigny expressed his excitement about the team’s move, stating that the challenges of uprooting from Arizona are being tempered by the warm welcome they have received in Utah. The players are eager to build a new culture and make their mark in their new home.

Despite the logistical challenges of finding practice facilities and a locker room, general manager Bill Armstrong is confident that the team will be able to make temporary arrangements with community venues in the near future.

Four-time All-Star forward Clayton Keller is optimistic about the team’s prospects in Utah, believing that they have the potential to break through and become a playoff team in their debut season in the state. Keller emphasized the importance of everyone buying into the team’s goals in order to reach the next level of success.

As the former Arizona Coyotes settle into their new home in Utah, hockey fans in the state are eagerly anticipating the start of a new chapter in their team’s history.
