Utah Grizzlies, ECHL find ways to make it in tough economy

Hockey is the greatest action sport. It would be terrific if the local media would actually cover the Grizzlies the way they do the lame old Jazz and Real. These guys play with heart and without ego, refreshing in professional sports. Come on Utah, pack the house!

I too, agree with "Super Fan". The Utah media will never cover hockey as long as the NBA is here.
Hockey is a fast and exciting sport. It is too bad that the Grizzles aren't marketed enough.
LONG LIVE HOCKEY!!!

What is with Grizzly fan's always being down on the Jazz. I mean they can't control all the media attention they get and how little the grizzlies get. The Jazz are actually a great team and the also play with a lot of heart. I enjoy going to Jazz games as well as Grizzly games. I agree, a lot of professional players are in it for the money, but going to a Jazz game you realize not all of those guys are. No offense or anything, but the Jazz are a bigger franchise and people watch them all around the U.S. I don't have anything against either team, I just wish I would hear so many Grizzly fans being down on the Jazz. Good luck to both teams this season!

I understand that the Jazz are in a bigger market and a bigger league but the problem I have with them, and I guess its not really the Jazz fault but the media, is that the Jazz might get 20 minutes of coverage but the Grizzlies can't even get 2 minutes. The Media doesn't even announce games, or scores at all. Thats my biggest problem with the whole thing. I understand Jazz will always have more but Grizzlies deserve to get something. Grizzlies deserve to have games announced and hopefully expand the market a little. There are people living here that don't even know about the team or if they do they don't know when games are. I would be okay if the Grizz at least had games announce, and scores announce maybe with a couple of highlights running in the background, that would take no longer than 2 minutes. Maybe when that starts to happen I'll ease up on Utahs precious Jazz.
