Utah's new team has already embarrassed the Arizona Coyotes
The excitement of the NHL's arrival in Utah has seen sales catch fire quickly. It's clear that the demand is sky-high just hours after season tickets were made available.
The move of the Arizona Coyotes to Utah has sparked a lot of emotions, especially considering they've been playing in a smaller venue for years. Yet, with the 2024-25 season on the horizon, players can expect a raucous atmosphere. Reports indicate that NHL Utah has sold over 6,000 season tickets in just two hours since opening sales. Putting that into perspective, Mullet Arena housed 5,000.
Even though Utah is uncharted territory for the NHL, it's evident that fans are ready to embrace hockey in their state. It looks like they're on their way to reaching 10,000 season ticket holders or more in a Delta Center.
The plan is to renovate the arena, currently the home of the Utah Jazz, and reach 17,000 seats.
And with an upstart roster featuring rising stars like Josh Doan, Clayton Keller, and Logan Cooley, there's a lot of anticipation for a playoff push this summer.
