The NHL's arrival in Utah has sparked significant excitement, evident by the rapid demand for season tickets just hours after their release. After years of playing in a small venue, the players are anticipating a completely different atmosphere for the 2024-25 season.
Reports indicate that NHL Utah has already sold over 6,000 season ticket deposits within the first two hours of availability, showcasing the strong demand in this new market. It seems they are well on their way to reaching 10,000 season ticket holders or more, in an arena with a capacity of around 12,000 fans.
With a promising young core featuring players like Josh Doan, Clayton Keller, and Logan Cooley, anticipation is high for a playoff push next summer. Despite lacking branding and an official announcement on uniforms or colors, excitement for hockey in this new market is palpable, making for an exciting summer ahead.
