It would be nice to have an NHL team, but the Grizzlies can only pull about 4,000 people to their games, and that's with tickets as low as $10.

Plus, the ESA is a terrible arena for hockey. I remember sitting in the cheap seats at Golden Eagles games and not being able to see the goal below me.

Good to see some coverage in the DN for another local team. It's a rarity that we see grizz coverage.

The NHL preseason game pulled a lot of people in. The Grizzlies being in the ECHL doesn't help. The team is constantly shorthanded after the Islanders have their way with the roster. The owners really dropped the ball moving the team to a lower league. Not to mention the team get almost no media or promotional coverage. This is the first time in many years I have even seen a TV ad for them.

Utah Grizzlies coach Kevin Colley played in 16 NHL games before a serious injury cut short his career. Now he wants to get back to the top level of hockey as a coach.
