The Utah Hockey Club is gearing up for a new season after relocating to Salt Lake City, aiming for improved performance following a disappointing last season. With a record of 36-41-5, they missed the playoffs and are under the guidance of coach André Tourigny.
This season, the team has made significant changes, including the addition of defensemen Mikhail Sergachev, John Marino, and Robert Bortuzzo, while key departures include Jason Zucker and J.J. Moser.
General manager Bill Armstrong emphasizes a focus on rebuilding, hoping that the core of talent led by Clayton Keller can drive the team towards a postseason berth. The team’s Stanley Cup odds sit at 60-1, reflecting the challenges ahead.
