GRAB SOME ICE GIVEAWAY: https://www.slcpuck.com/p/giveaway-grab-some-ice

The Utah Hockey Club made its inaugural season home finale a celebratory occasion, even with an overtime shootout loss to the Nashville Predators. After the game ended, the team awarded End of Year Honors to select players, including goaltender Karel Vejmelka, who was voted by his teammates as the team's Most Valuable Player.

SLC Puck host Austin Facer commends the Club for making the right call and naming "Veggie" the MVP. It's also been interesting to note that many players on this team have had career years, such as "All-In" Award winner Barrett Hayton. That, along with a feeling of gratitude for the team's new market, gives Facer optimism for Utah's future.

Utah continued to wrap up its season with a 50% off sale at the team store over the weekend. In addition to being an act of appreciation for the team's fanbase, Facer also views it as a signal that a new name and look may be on the way, very soon.

Facer also co-hosts the NashCast, the Utah Hockey Club's alt-cast starring NHL funnyman Tyson Nash, available exclusively on SEG+ or Utah HC+.
