Heck I recently learn Vernal has a semi pro hockey team. 18-20 ish year old trying to break into the big leagues. Can't wait to catch a game there.

Vernal Oilers are in the U.S. Premier Hockey League (Junior A), which is an amateur league that often serves as a stepping stone to college hockey or pro teams. Junior A leagues attract players from Europe and North America that want to go to the next level or simply play at a more competitive level. I think the most promising USPHL players go directly to NCAA Division I hockey. Some may even go directly or indirectly to NHL, or maybe a higher level of junior hockey. There are a number of different levels and leagues of “junior” hockey in North America. I think players get paid in some of the highest levels of junior hockey in Canada, but this would preclude eligibility for college hockey in the U.S.
 
Looks like Alot Of Work And Money To Install The Hockey Rink & Then Tear It All Out For BasketBall Games And Over & Over & Over!
 
SEG wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't even more money coming into their pockets. Don't fret for them, my friend!
 
The last 15 years or so I've really followed the Coyotes, wished we could have figured out a way to keep them in AZ Lots of good up and comers on the UHC. Good luck to them this year.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed last nights game and they will be my favorite team to follow, now that they are in Utah.

I’ve attended a few professional football games, baseball games, and basketball games but never a pro hockey game. I’m very much looking forward to attending a Utah team hockey game as soon as possible.

Regarding last night's game, after the fact. I’m no hockey analysis, by any stretch of the imagination, but I saw what I saw last night, and couple of serious issues for The Club that I’m sure will get worked on going forward. Even though they scored two goals in the 1st period, their defense was not great. Throughout the first period the Club cleared the puck, from deep in their end and especially behind their net poorly. They were passing the puck right in front of and across the front of the goal/net. This is a fundamental “never do” principle taught to the earliest 10 year old players. They were very fortunate Chicago didn’t intercept more of those passes within ten feet of the goal. You just don’t do that. They improved their play regarding this issue in the 2 and 3 period. Not perfect but better. I’ll bet their coach discussed it between peiods.

Their over all passing was fair but they weren’t as crisp and quick as they could have been. A lot of their passes were miss handled well by the receiving player.

On the up side, they are a young, small, and quick and talented. They’re certainly put the puck in the net quick and clean on four occasions. There was not much of 6 men piling up in front of the net, last night, on either end. They weren’t muscling their way past the Chicago goal tender, but neither was Chicago.

By the end of the second period I was pretty sure Chicago was going to win. The third period was more of a back and forth, wild and ragged, The Club held its own and that last goal was, like the first three, quick and deadly, and it clinched it.

Actually……. a pretty wild and ragged game and it was a near perfect way to introduce the team to the Utah people. Don’t think the player, coaches, owners and the public could not have scripted a better introduction.

Is there a list of the final names? What i could find only says the list has been narrowed down from 20 original submissions to 6.

Would you knock it off you are making Utah look too attractive.😡
 
You guys ever get over that Utah herpes epidemic over there, DC?
Nope…. never has, it’s rampant. Leave the Utah women alone on your way through!

The Club is tied in the second period against the Islanders, 1-1. No Yeti’s in NewYork tonight.

Wouldn't think about touching them....I like my women to have shaved backs.
 
And how bout that PGA tournament in BFE southern Utah? Boy, even the Goobernor is pimping out that beautiful red rock country. Maverick doesn’t even have that many commercials.

Won’t be long now and you won’t even be able to see 230” inchers from the road anymore. :(

And remember, Colorado sucks. Spread the word.

That would be one of them Wayne County girls.
Have you never heard about Wayne County before they paved the road over the Koosharem hill.
It was paradise girl's were beautiful and big bucks everywhere, and then they paved over the hill and all of the Sevier County boys went and shot all the bucks and took the pretty girls home to Sevier County.
End of paradise.
True story.
