The Utah Hockey Club is trying to prove that Salt Lake City and Utah as a whole can support the NHL .

The Jazz reached three straight Western Conference finals from 1996 through 1998 , with two NBA Finals appearances.

The University of Utah was the first school to have the No. 1 picks in both the NBA and NFL drafts in 2005 .

The Utah Hockey Club received more than 30,000 season-ticket deposits.

The short-term goal is to drive new, young fans to the sport.

Part of that plan is creating a youth hockey program.

The club's connection to the Junior Jazz is the NBA 's largest youth basketball program.

Utah Hockey Club has a " multiyear strategy" when it comes to how ticketing will work for fans from various economic backgrounds.

It's possible that UHC 's fans could be in store for a pricey first season , with the possibility of an uptick in prices once the Delta Center renovation project is completed in 2027 .

The composite cheapest lower-bowl tickets with an unobstructed view is $ 248.67 .
