So, which arena will the Utah Hockey Club call home in 2024-25? If you’re looking to check out Utah hockey games this season, you’ll want to venture out to the Delta Center. For you Jazz fans, you already know how to get there and watch an NBA team that will soon be switching back to those memorable mountain uniforms next season (2025-26) - can’t wait, by the way.
The Delta Center will be one of the older venues in hockey, as it started housing teams for the 1991 season, and while the Jazz have been its primary tenant, it’s seen its fair share of hockey. Way back when, the International Hockey League’s (IHL) Salt Lake Golden Eagles called the venue home between 1991-94, as did the Utah Grizzlies, also of the IHL, from 1995-97.
Utah Hockey Club will call the Delta Center home for 2024-25 and beyond
We know how loud the Delta Center can get during Jazz games, and its fans’ vocalness is one reason teams aren’t fond of traveling there. If the Utah Hockey Club’s fans replicate the same thing, the Delta Center could become one of the toughest places to play in hockey, even if the team suffers its fair share of growing pains this season.
And when Utah gets competitive under their new nickname - whatever that name will be - you can expect plenty of memorable nights and a lot of wins to go around should the venue prove to be just as tough of a place to play in hockey as it is in basketball.
If you consider yourself a fan of Utah’s hockey team, the fact this venue has a reputation as a tough place to play in one league should be welcoming news. And it also sets a high standard of what the new team’s hockey fans will want to replicate.
