Utah Hockey Club 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
After years of failure, poor crowds, and battles for a new arena, the Arizona Coyotes became the Utah Hockey Club this year. The move triggered improvement both on the ice and at the box office. However, Utah, like Arizona, remained a mediocre team that could not close the deal and make the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Now, Utah will spend the offseason coming up with a formal nickname and trademarks as it tries to find enough new talent to build a playoff team. It was a good first season in Salt Lake City for the Hockey Club.

Utah Hockey Club History
Born in 1972 as a World Hockey Association charter member of the Winnipeg Jets, the Coyotes moved to the metro Phoenix area in 1996. Their best season was in 2012 when they made the Western Conference Final. Ironically enough, that is when they were an orphan owned by the NHL.
From the start, it was a struggle for Arizona in the desert. Originally, the Coyotes shared an arena with the NBA Phoenix Suns. But many of the seats in one end zone were obstructed. When the Coyotes finally got their own home, it was in remote Glendale.
The theory was that there would be major land development with a shopping mall, homes, and entertainment complexes. The project never worked despite a football stadium for the NFL Arizona Cardinals being next door. Coyote fans hated the long drive from downtown and affluent Scottsdale, especially for weeknight games.
Next, the Coyotes left Glendale to play at the home of the NCAA Arizona State Sun Devils program in an arena that seats around 6,000 fans. The plan was to play there for a couple of years until a new arena could be built in Tempe. But the project never saw a shovel penetrate the ground.
As a result of the Arizona stalemate, Utah has a new hockey team. The Utah Hockey Club will share the Delta Center with the NBA Utah Jazz, which the same group owns.
