Introduce yourself here!

[beeker16]

Are you a former Arizona fan: Not at all.
Why you're a Utah fan: the Coyotes and fanbase got royally screwed by a s**tbag owner. I hope hockey thrives in UT as I do love the area and wish the AZ fans take some solace the team lives on somehow.

Favorite food: anything from the High West Distillery restaurant.

Anything else: If not already mentioned, the team should be called the Utah Phoenix, at least for an interim name. a Phoenix is a mythical bird that represent rising up in rebirth. A graphic showing a coyote walking away from the desert into the mountains, looking back and up for one last howl and morphing into a phoenix would be a great intro for the inaugural season.

 

[Hogan20]

Name: Hogan
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Hometown: Portland, Maine
Where you live: Portland, Maine
Nationality: American
Occupation: Civil Engineer
What brought you to HF: It's been awhile, not sure I exactly remember but I'm sure it was something that had to do with a Coyotes prospect.
Are you a former Arizona fan: Yes
Why you're a Utah fan: Living in Maine has shielded me a bit and then never making it to Arizona for a Coyotes home game also helped (although I would catch the Coyotes when they played in Boston). Once all the shady sh** that Meruelo pulled it became easier to root for the players and team to succeed while leave the Arizona part behind.
Favorite player on the team: JJ Moser
Favorite player around the league: Jeremy Swayman
Games you like: I play Apex fairly regularly but that's about it. Too much time spent watching other sports/playing other sports has drawn my TV time away.
Music you like: Usually just about anything, my music tastes switch about every 3 months I'd have to say. Recently it's been a lot of Kevin Gates and Morgan Wallen (two complete opposites, one for the gym and one for just hanging out with my friends)
Movies/TV Shows you like: I've spent far too much of my time watching sports to really take in movies and/or TV shows as of late so I don't have an answer for this question.
Favorite food: Quiche
Hockey jerseys owned: Jeremy Swayman (Black), JJ Moser (Black Katchina), Jacob Chychrun (Red Coyotes), Clayton Keller (Red Coyotes)
Anything else: Nothing as of now!

[Harvey Birdman]

Credit to the Canes board for the rough template.

Name: Chris
Age: 39
Gender: M
Hometown: Born in Ohio, Adopted Pittsburgh as my hometown.
Where you live: San Diego
Nationality: US
Occupation: US Navy
What brought you to HF: Penguins rebuild back in mid 2000's
Are you a former Arizona fan: I have cheered for them off and on come playoff time when they have made it. I always jump onto a Western team when the Penguins are eliminated or don't make the playoffs.
Why you're a Utah fan: Cheering for a new market to work out.
Favorite player on the team: Cooley
Favorite player around the league: Evgeni Malkin, has been since his rookie season, especially since his "Shades of Mario!" game his rookie year.
Games you like: Way to many... Currently replaying through the original FF7.
Music you like: Pretty much anything rock n roll depending on the mood. Little classic rock here, punk rock there, metal from time to time, and sprinkle some metal on there also. Give the mood I can listen to pretty much all forms of rock music. Also dive into the blues every now and again. And generally listen to EDM to workout.
Movies you like: The Prestige is my favorite movie of all time. Work of art. Anything from Nolan I will watch. But Gladiator, Fifth Element, Saving Private Ryan, and Alien are some of my favorites. I am a human IMDB database. Way to many movies to list. Film and Hockey take up like 50% of the disk space in my brain.
TV shows you like: Recently... Shogun and Masters of Air have been fantastic.
Favorite food: Anything Asian. Thai rocks. Cambodian is good. Bengali is vastly underated. Also Mexican. And Italian.
Hockey jerseys owned: 3x Malkin, 2x Crosby, 2x Jagr, and 2x Mario.
Anything else: Will just be probably poking in here from time to time. My team is going through a transition. They have been wildly successful over the past 20 years with Crosby/Malkin but that era is coming to an end. Pittsburgh will always be my team. Always. But it will be good to have a younger team in both player and identity to cheer for. So Utah will be my adopted team in the West Conf. for the foreseeable future.

[Harvey Birdman]

The Expanse great show, would recommend to everyone

The show was very solid, the book series is absolutely amazing. I've read all 9 books. I do not think I took a break until I got to book 5, they were that good.

 

[yianik]

So by a big margin most ( ?) of the people who identified as Coyote fans didnt live in Arizona. Can kind of see why there were attendance issues.

Anyway, welcome Utah and all the best except for games against the Habs. Your GM came in heavy, added to the fun.

Stop wearing blinders. For over a decade trolls on HF were allowed to run rampant over Coyotes fans. Many of us quickly left HF to find safer places to have a Coyotes community.

Visited last October, Utah is top five state for national parks.

 

[94leetch]

Life long Rangers fan, moved to Utah 14 years ago and never looked back. Of course the Utah Club (Yetis ?) are now my Western Conference favorites. I'm looking forward to watching my team play but also catching random games, the arena us about 25 minutes away. I'm pumped.

 

[Mosby]

Brian Leetch is one of my all-time favourites!
