If the team formerly known as the Coyotes is going to play in Utah, there is only one name that fits the team, the Osmonds.
Seems like a forced sale by the NHL.
call them the Salt Puckers
The Jazz have been in Utah since 1979. Definitely more than "a couple of decades"
Just don't name them the GRIZZLIES because that's bad luck a name of a certain franchise disapeared of the radar in VANCOUVER….
Oh, and also I think Houston got screwed again as the owner of the Rockets says we are committed to bringing a NHL team to Houston. We got screwed. Again
The more i watch the reports from Utah are Cringe. They will need to get better and fast lol
Hopefully the deal ends when he fails to have shovels in the ground by date XYZ & new owner restarts the franchise in Glendale
Im so excited but i wish it Would have been an expansion team.
This was eastern Idaho news which is actually closer to Salt Lake than Boise.
I feel bad for all of the coyotes fans. But I'm so exited for a team to come to my state. And everyone else in Utah is too. Everyone I talk to about this are also really hyped. Just not as much as me.
Excellent video. I don't think I could have enjoyed this type of analysis when the Hartford Whalers moved to North Carolina. Coyote fans have been gutted by this move. Even if a new arena is built in Tempe, I don't believe it will be supported in the way the owner thinks it will. The fans are angry and will not forget this. The communities in which they have played will not forget the unpaid taxes, and all the other bridges this owner has burned.
incredulously and unfortunately for arizona hockey fans ,,billionaire pig and piece o garbage meruelo will still own the tucson roadrunners ugh ..we need to make a LOUD statement to him at coyotes last game and remaining roadrunner games. 5,000 banners should be given away at the mullett on wed. = MERUELO SUCKS ! let's yell it early and OFTEN ALL GAME !
Large Intestines, Fightin' Optometrists, Teamy McTeamFace.
In a "minor" hockey market like Phoenix, it should've been priority #1 to improve relations with the Suns ownership. Those teams should've been sharing a building. I realize the Suns arena isn't built for hockey, but they should've put in the work to make it happen.
15:48 Utah has Major League Rugby: Utah Warriors at Zion bank stadium
its possible that the utah media didn't mention too much on the district funding because they had ALREADY done reports on it
"The Jazz have been in Utah for a couple of decades"… C'mon, Brodie. The Jazz have been in Utah for longer than you've been alive!
Earlier in the video, you mentioned that you hadn't seen the news reel or video yet. But then before the Boise news began, you mimicked the deep voice before the video showed. So which one is it, have you or haven't you seen these beforehand. Obviously, you have seen them as you put together this video for YouTube. But why then say that you haven't seen the news reel before?
Where else could they play? They could play at the Maverik center, which is better suited for hockey, but Smith don't own the Maverick center and does own the Delta center. Not hard to understand why he wants hockey in the Delta Center until new stadium is done. As for the state fundings, the state is IMO very interested in funding the billion to the MLB group because it solves an issue that has for years plagued the side of Salt Lake that badly needs attention and sits in a state of nothingness. What to do with that area and what it would cost to revitalize the area gets solved with only an investment of a billion dollars. Sounds like a lot but not in comparison what it would cost to do something if they had to do it. Probably a no brainer investment for the state of Utah. A new home for the homeless?? LOL. As for the Arizona fans, can feel the pain of losing your team and hope that your people can eventually get their stadium situation settled, be ready to go when the green light for expansion happens and do it. This should give your ownership time to get in order for next round of expansion and feel you get it. I say good luck to Salt Lake as we will find out for real if Salt Lake is in fact a hockey town. I am personally more excited for MLB, but that is just me.
I feel awful for the Coyotes fans, but for the health of this franchise, a move to Salt Lake City, is by far the best move forward. Salt Lake City is a very nice city and there is a ton of support for hockey in this region and over the border in Wyoming. The players will enjoy the region, if they love the outdoors, and honestly they will love the fanbase. It's a beautiful region. It's great to see another team coming to the Rocky mountain region.
The reason the NHL is doing it is because the owner reportedly has said he wants to keep the team in Arizona but he has been commenting tax fraud on the state level that’s why they lost their arena in the first place. I’ve been following this from the start also the Utah Grizzlies are an ECHL team who play in West Valley City
Excellent!!!
they already have an ECHL team there, the Utah Grizzlies
Not much mentioned about the Grizzlies, but I guess we can assume they'll relocate. Keep the Roadrunners in Tucson and send the Grizzlies to Phoenix???
Yeah Brodie, I get what you're saying about the different media deliveries between SLC and Phoenix. The Phoenix telecasts have all the warmth of a ransom note.
Whoa
Brodie I can tell you get a kick out of looking up local affiliates haha. AT 10! 😅
It's interesting that Utah seems much more excited about the Coyotes than Nevada does about the As.
Since both hockey and basketball play at a similar time, which sport will the fans choose?
I like this video…gives me a sense of how this is laying locally given im not anywhere near Utah
I've seen so many cities like SLC wanting so badly to be metropolitan but just aren't. Taxing their residents to bring in pro sport where Washington state didn't spend one red cent on the Kraken, their state of the art retrofitted arena, or their practice facility.
In Salt Lake City there is also another arena …. which is the Maverik Center where the Utah Grizzlies from the ECHL plays regularly. I am not sure what is its capacity, but there are 2 good options for the new Utah Coyotes to play.
Alex Mereulo has been vanquished! It was "demanded" from Upon High by the Grand Emperor of Scottsdale that hockey should leave!…Huh?…Wait a minute…He changed his mind?…Oh, okay. Code 4. Everything back to normal… 😒…Funny how the Salt Lake media was giving all the credit to the soon to be former Scottsdale mayor for torpedoing the Coyotes, when this has obviously been in the works since the Tempe NIMBYs ran the Coyotes off…The logical thing would be to move the ECHL Utah Grizzlies to Phoenix and leave the Running Birds in Tucson, instead of moving them (again) to Phoenix, then moving them back (again) to Tucson when the Coyotes supposedly get a reboot…The giddy Utah press is boasting about the Jazz's – Jazze's – Jazzers – Jazz'z – ??? – perpetual sellouts. Sure. In a single team market that's to be expected. But now you're bringing in a direct competitor. The Jazz and the Pookie Bears will share the same season. So, let's run the numbers, shall we?… 😃…Delta Center. 18,306 for basketball, 14,000 for ice hockey. 41 home games each league per season. That makes a Jazz season sellout 750,546. Now add in that the NHL Utah team of dubious name (insert eyeroll here) has to fill 574,000 seats. All during the same period of time. Not many people will go to sporting events four or five nights a week, so this is where the population looms large, and how many will travel how far to the games, taking how long. Not saying it can't be done, but selling 1.324 million tickets within a six month season when that number equals more than half your total metro popualtion isn't a tall ask – it's a stratospheric ask. TV market is much smaller, so there isn't as much to fall back on revenue wise…And yeah, I could really do without the bush league gloating out of Utah. This may be you one day…All that said, I wish the team luck in Salt Lake. I'm not a hater, guys. I'm just a realist…
Parable of the day – "That $25k bottle of Dom Perignon looks sexy on the shelf, and may be enjoyable while you're drinking it. But when it's all gone, and you're still paying for it, the aftertaste isn't so great."
I’ve been thinking about where Josh Doan may end up after his ELC.
I think it’s possible he’ll be in Vancouver with BC being his second home.
I’ll cheer for the Canucks if that happens.
Utah Grizzlies and the Tuscon Trash Pandas
I’d say let them have the cursed name with the cursed franchise, if Arizona can keep the draft picks.
The citizens of Utah are willing to spend nearly a billion dollars on an arena, the citizens of Arizona wouldn’t even let the team build an arena with private funding and zero taxpayer dollars.
Glendale refused to renew the year-to-year lease, offered only a twenty year lease that didn’t fit with the new owners plans to create an entertainment district.
What of the Utah Grizzlies?
There have actually been two minor league teams by that name. The original team was founded in Colorado as the Denver Grizzlies in the old International Hockey League in 1994 and won the championship in their inaugural season but had to leave right afterwards when the Quebec Nordiques became the Colorado Avalanche. Restarting as the Utah Grizzlies in 1995 they initially played at what's now the Delta Center until a purpose built arena that served as the primary hockey venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics opened in 1997. The Grizzlies won their 2nd consecutive IHL championship in their inaugural season in Utah, the deciding game of the 4 game sweep of Orlando setting a then minor league hockey attendance record when over 17000 fans packed the Delta Center. When the IHL folded in 2001 the Grizzlies were one of several teams admitted into the lone remaining AAA level minor league, the AHL. They suspended operations in 2005, after which a different ownership group bought a dormant ECHL franchise and the 2.0 version of the Grizzlies were born.
Your quite the negative media swamp guy. PLEASE remain in Arizona
I love the drip that Ryan Smith has rocking the backwards cap. He looks like your buddy from college or the guy hosting the house party that you're at.
NHL doesn't need expansion. It needs contraction. The talent is too thin.
I heard that the Coyotes name will remain in Arizona for future expansion, in other words they are pulling the Cleveland Browns.
The biggest loser in all of this is Brett Thornton. In 1996, he won lifetime season tickets to the Coyotes for winning the name the team contest.
