SALT LAKE CITY — Not many Utah ns have made it to the top in the NHL , but one star who did says Salt Lake City is in for something special when the league arrives next season.
Born in Salt Lake City, Konowalchuk went on to play over 14 seasons with both the Washington Capitals and Colorado Avalanche, scoring 171 goals after being selected in the third round of the 1991 NHL Draft. "There was three ice rinks in all of the Salt Lake area, Bountiful and Cottonwood, and so we were driving all over the city. It was just unheard of that anybody would spend that much time playing hockey," he said."So it's pretty exciting to see that it's coming around now.
"Every year we have great crowds and it's really loud, and it's been fun for our players to go there every year," he said.
