Fan interviews from the Delta Center Welcome Party
"Let’s Go!!!!!"
"Utah is excited! We are excited! It’s going to be such a great thing for us locals! I’m most excited for the youth in our community. Having an NHL team will help our youth programs grow."
"Youth Hockey and building rinks needs to be a focus, or this think dies pretty quick. Utahns have lots of kids and are cheap. Youth Hockey must be cheap, quick, and easy to get the kids in. Adult leagues are full too, but Wu Tang is for the babies. "
"Let’s go team!!! I’m pushing to be your music man. I promise to hype the crowd up and give you that small edge over the opposing team to get a dub! "
"I hope the team felt welcomed, I know this was big change for everyone affiliated with the coyotes. I'm excited to see them play and hopefully make it to the play offs and more next season. Im hoping with the new owner and franchise they can get what they need to be a badass team. "
"Have an awesome time in Utah, enjoy the mountain scenery, and hope you adapt well to the higher altitudes."

Cheering Utah fans pack a full house at delta center
Big energy that day, made some great friends and all 3 of us caught free t-shirts. Got on the scoreboard and got to sit with an original equipment manager for the Salt Lake City Golden Eagles back in '89. He deserved to catch the first shirt.
He had been waiting for the day the NHL came to Utah, and now it came to reality, he said he was literally in tears with emotion that's how special this day was for him.
It has been amazing to be a part of this. To be present and feel the energy in the building is something felt in person.
A common interest like Hockey can unite complete strangers and give them reason for cheer.
So so memorable.

Canadian travels to Utah to join the welcome party
My home city is Mississauga, Ontario Canada. But once I saw the exciting event planned at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, I just had to be part of the action!
To be there in person as a sports journalist and a hockey fan promised to be a very memorable experience. To be part of this rare event and capture photos, meet fellow hockey fans and especially feel the energy of the excited local fans in Utah. That whole experience inspired me to create this fan website and blog my journey.
I'm definitely going to be following the Utah team as the upcoming season starts. I'm pumped to see them play. And also hope to use the free pre-season vouchers I won for getting in the first 5000 in the Delta Center arena lineup.
