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.
#NHLinUtah was 100% worth the flight from Toronto.
