The Utah Hockey Club rises from the ashes that the Arizona Coyotes left behind.
As was the case throughout much of the Arizona Coyotes' history, the franchise's final days were filled with turmoil, but it allowed a second chance for the team. This time as the Utah Hockey Club.
The storm has now passed, though, and the members of the new Utah Hockey Club - which acquired the Coyotes' hockey assets including players, coaches and draft picks - are better for it. “The question is if we can do this on a consistent basis. The guys last year, just knowing what we went through with all the adversity and distractions away from hockey. I think we really bonded from that and really excited to finally be able to play hockey.”
Now on stable ground in Utah, Durzi, who signed a four-year extension worth $24 million last week, and his teammates will look to continue their strong run of form over an entire season. Not just for their own sake, but for that of their new, passionate fanbase.
