First, it was Austin Facer. Then it was GMBA, General Manager Bill Armstrong. Now, it's Clayton Keller. All are saying they think they know which of the finalists will be Utah Hockey Club's permanent name after this season. Hockey is here! The Rookie Faceoff is underway in LA, which puts us just one week out from the start of NHL preseason. Also, on the show, Austin gives a new conspiracy about the future of hockey in Southern Utah.

Turn to page 158 of the NHL Yearbook issue of The Hockey News and you'll see a familiar name.

The list of Utahns who have played in the NHL isn't a long one, which makes it perfect to talk about each of them on this episode of SLC Puck! Austin shares a bit on Steve Konowalchuk, Trevor Lewis and Daniel Brickley, the rest he holds for Brickley, even 14 years after their matchup on the ice.

Video is a little glitchy at first, but hang in there. Drunk on maple syrup, Austin takes a trip down memory lane to revisit the biggest hockey game ever played in Utah: the Gold Medal Game of 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake. Paul Kariya, lucky loonies, Dick Cheney, what more could anyone ask for? This game had it all, and put Utah in a special place in hockey history.

In this very long episode of SLC Puck, Austin makes a tier ranking list of the NHL clubs' logos. Where does the Utah Hockey Club's logo land in the rankings? You'll have to watch the entire freaking episode to find out. Or just fast forward to around the 30 minute mark.

If you were a fan of the Dreamscapes art installation in the old Macy's of the South Town Mall, you're probably in shambles. It won't be long until that build becomes the Utah Hockey Club's practice and training facility. It's a big deal for the team, but Austin thinks its actually a much bigger deal for the entire community. Still, he hopes the PretzelMaker isn't going anywhere. Put on your hard hat, it's time for another episode of SLC Puck!
