John Marino was traded from the New Jersey Devils to the Utah Hockey Club, which surprised many. Marino is excited to join the new team in an unknown city and help build a winning culture. The addition of Marino strengthens Utah's defense and signals their commitment to success in their inaugural season.

Marino brings experience from winning teams like the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Devils, and he is eager to mentor the younger players in Utah. With a solid defensive core in place, Utah aims to be a competitive force in the league and make Salt Lake City a tough place to play.
