“We redid our (basketball) locker rooms, too, as we went through all this,” Smith said from Scotland that night. “The team’s working all night. They’re still working. I bet if I walked in there, it wouldn’t look like it was ready. But by tomorrow, somehow, it will be.”
Somehow, it will be. The Utah Hockey Club doesn’t have a nickname yet — the Yetis seems to be the front-runner — but that could certainly be its slogan. Hockey, in Utah? Somehow, it will be. An NHL-caliber facility wedged into the basketball-only Delta Center? Somehow, it will be. A team, a home, a practice facility, an identity and a culture rising from the ashes of the Arizona Coyotes in just a few months? Somehow, it will be.
And somehow, it is. On Tuesday night, in front of perhaps 16,000 fans — up to 5,000 of whom will have paid for the privilege of not even being able to see one of the goals thanks to the quirks of the arena — Utah Hockey Club will step onto the ice at Delta Center in its home blues and become the 53rd incarnation of a National Hockey League team, a five-month-old franchise hosting the 98-year-old Chicago Blackhawks.
Huh. I hadn't thought about it but now that you mention it, it does sound interesting.I'm actually looking forward to tuning into the UHC game tonight......always love seeing team debuts.

Thanks for the heads up.
