Nytt namnlöst NHL-lag gjorde succé och vann direkt
NHL:s senaste nytillskott gjorde succédebut i nattens match mot Chicago Blackhawks. Klubben – som inte har något ordentligt namn ännu – vann med 5–2. Det rapporterar flera medier.
I april blev det klart att Arizona Coyotes skulle flytta till Salt Lake City efter att ägarna till NBA-klubben Utah Jazz köpt laget. Detaljerna kring det exakta varumärket är inte klara så under första säsongen spelar de med en tillfällig tröja.
bakgrund
Utah Hockey Club
Wikipedia (en)
The Utah Hockey Club is a professional ice hockey expansion team based in Salt Lake City. The team competes in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Central Division in the Western Conference, and began play during the league's 2024–25 season. The team plays its home games at the Delta Center, the home of the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association (NBA), with plans being made to remodel the arena to make it more suitable for both franchises.
The team was created on April 18, 2024, in a deal that essentially split the existing Arizona Coyotes franchise in half. The NHL Board of Governors granted an expansion franchise in Salt Lake City to Jazz owner Ryan Smith. In lieu of an expansion draft to stock the new team, Smith acquired the hockey assets (players, coaching staff and draft picks) of the Coyotes, which suspended hockey operations at the same time. The team is playing its inaugural season in 2024–25 with a temporary name and colors, while a full identity is developed in time for 2025–26. The team's name, colors and jerseys for their inaugural season were revealed on June 13, 2024.
