Thanks to Utah Hockey Club insiders Cole Bagley (KSL Sports), Brogan Houston (Deseret News) and Belle Fraser (Salt Lake Tribune), we got our first look at the new Utah Hockey Club team stores located throughout the Delta Center.
This news comes one day after Utah announced its family-friendly concession stand prices. Game fans can buy bottled water, popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, and ice cream, all for three dollars or less.
Your fan faves, even better 🍿

We’re excited to announce $2 and $3 concession offerings, available at all #UtahHC games at @deltacenter. pic.twitter.com/F33MKu2BHX
These stores can be found in various locations throughout the arena; some even have Utah Jazz apparel. With the puck drop on the regular season less than a week away, Utah has shown off many items that will be available for purchase on opening night against the Blackhawks and has outlined plans for additions to the store throughout the season.
Let's take a look at what is available and what is coming down the pipeline:
Utah Hockey Club unveils new exclusive team store
The store primarily has shirts, hats, and other memorabilia for the inaugural season, such as pucks.

For the inaugural season, several player's names will be on the back of shirts and jerseys. This list of players available includes Logan Cooley, Lawson Crouse, Dylan Guenther, Barrett Hayton, Liam O'Brien, Mikhail Sergachev, and others who have yet to be announced.
Guenther, Sergachev, Keller, Crouse, O’Brien, Cooley and Hayton jerseys will be readily available in store when they arrive around November.

However, every player on the roster will be available to customize as soon as jerseys are in stock.
For those looking to get a jersey for any other player on the Utah Hockey Club, you can customize a jersey for any player on the team when at the rink. Personally, I will need to take a trip to the Delta Center and get a custom Josh Doan jersey. However, the kicker here is the actual team jerseys will not be in store until sometime in November (via Belle Fraser)

The most notable thing that the Utah Hockey Club announced, in my opinion, is they planned to bring Liam O'Brien's "spicy tuna" themed merchandise to the store. Liam O'Brien was loved in Arizona with the Coyotes because he was the enforcer that has protected all these young rookies who are now turning into star players. While he may not play as much this year as the team will be much more competitive, he will still play his fair share of games, and the guy loves to put on a show for the home crowd. I am sure he will have the same effect in Utah and quickly become a fan favorite in Salt Lake City.
Parker Bushnell (director of retail) said they have some "fun stuff" in store for the Liam O'Brien fans:

"We work with a vendor that does a lot of hand-drawn designs based on nicknames. We’re working on a Spicy Tuna rendition to be in the store later this season.”
