In this exciting episode of UTalk Hockey, Champ and Denz dig deep into the Utah Hockey Club's road to the regular season! With the preseason nearly over, the boys break down the team’s recent success on the ice, including key wins against San Jose and Colorado. But it’s not just about the games—Denz gives his take on the latest news out of Salt Lake City, where a sales tax increase was just passed to help fund crucial renovations at the Delta Center. What does this mean for fans attending Utah Hockey games? And speaking of fans, Champ praises the man of the people on the new fan-friendly concessions that are sure to make your next game even more enjoyable (hello, $3 nachos!).

Next, we hop in a Hockey Time Machine (RUN FOR IT MARTY!) and reflect on Utah Hockey’s incredible journey, from Ryan Smith’s first meeting with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to the team’s big debut this year. It’s been a whirlwind! Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just getting into the sport, this episode will get you hyped for what’s next.

And don’t miss Face-Off Frenzy, where Champ and Denz debate a wild hypothetical: Would you rather see Utah Hockey make the playoffs this season, or would you take a guaranteed Stanley Cup in seven years but with a playoff drought until then? It’s a real brain-buster!

We close with the Rapid Fire Roundup, recapping the preseason games and looking ahead to the Utah Hockey Club’s first-ever regular-season game on October 8th against the Chicago Blackhawks. Will Champ guess the outcome and score?! We will see on October 8th at the Delta Center!
