1. Utah got such a good deal getting the entire Arizona cast. Arizona was a stiff team last year, gonna be even stiffer this year in Utah.

2. Not one mention of Logan Cooley?????????

3. Let’s goooo!!! 🤘🔥

4. Own goal, so glad the Coyote spirit lives on

5. I was there. It was a good time!

6. I was at the game. I used to work at Delta Center, and experienced many highs and lows with the Utah Jazz. I can think of very few times I have heard that building go as crazy as it did after the Utah goals and Spicy Tuna’s fight.

   There were several people around me experiencing hockey for the first time. Not just in person, but period. I think they are hooked.

7. Holy. I remember Louie Erickson's 1st goal in Vancouver… an own goal. It cursed him. Hoping Utah doesn't suffer from it!

8. Go Coyotes!!! 🌵🌵🌵

9. They should be called the… hear me out now… Utah Hockey Pucks or just Utah Pucks

   Peter Puck as mascot

   No Pucks given
   Go Puck Yourself
   Go Pucks Go
   🤣

   Also Pucks V Ducks would be cool lol

10. I was at this game, the place was absolutely buzzing

11. PWHL Jersey

12. Ryan Smith gives me the willies; nothing to do with the players but I get bad juju from him

13. The franchise is named Utah Hockey Club?

    Very very imaginative…

14. I think the team should be called Hawks. Hawks, Utah.

15. Im a Red Wing fan and will always be one. I live in Salt Lake City for 13 years. I hope Utah the best. See you on October 5 at the Maverick center and March 24th.

16. Liam O Brien is my favorite NHL’er. Loved him last year

17. The Utah Smiths

18. It was nice to see them play well fought entertaining game and awesome that was fan support right out of the gate.

19. As far as the name goes I think Venom is the best suited, there are at least 6 species of rattlesnakes in Utah. Of the 20 original potential names there are 6 Finalists in the team name contest and "Utah Hockey Club" made the list. How? Were the other 14 names THAT bad?
    I would have gone with "Utah Battalion", it's got a history in the founding of Salt Lake City and settlement of the State. Mormons agreed to sign up for the US military during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) in exchange for right to settle in Utah and found a Mormon city as the base for their church. Their regiment was called The Mormon Battalion. The government saw it as an opportunity to segregate the Mormons who were being persecuted in places like Michigan and Ohio, which was fine with the Mormons who wanted a more religious tribal society like the Amish anyway, who are probably jealous they didn't get their own State of the Union.

20. Im just glad Newer Fans are finally getting to see Hockey in Utah. A New Market comes with New Fans. Anything that helps grow the Sport of Hockey i’m happy with.
    It’s gotta be super exciting to be living in or the surrounding area of Salt Lake City Utah.

21. It doesn’t matter how well they do, it’s fun to have them in the league

22. Don't let this distract you from the fact that the Calgary Wranglers have cooked 2 NHL teams so far this pre-season, including Mcdavo' and Draisaitl.

23. LET'S GO HOCKEY CLUB! 👏 👏 👏👏👏

24. I hope they do well, no sarcasm.

    The league did them so dirty in AZ.

25. Super happy they had the game on local TV

26. I hope a playoff appearance

27. Not sure if I should root for or against them as an Arizona sympathizer

28. LA Gretzky era jerseys are the best the KINGS ever had imo!

29. Go jets go

    (And also rip ARI)
