      As a Coyote Fan I will admit Meruelo should not be in front of a camera often….zero charisma or self awareness…I will say this negative about Ryan Smith….my guys hairline is as bad as Bettmans and Meruelo’s….yikes

      Ryan Smith should have a talk to Elmore Sports Group owner Donna Tuttle about selling the Utah Grizzlies name rights to him and his wife Ashley Smith once the team finishes the 2023 - 2024 season and folds from the ECHL (East Coast Hockey League)

    Nothing like the politicians glomming on...
    Keep in mind, SLC is NOT Park City... For all the people who've only flown in for ski vacations, SLC is far different. I lived in SLC.... Place needs alot of work. The homeless situation is awful, the scent off the lake, major smog.... Inside the doors could be killer, but SLC, not so much...; And I LOVE Utah.. It's one of my favorite states, but it's probably the 10th spot at best I'd chose to live in the state. They do have great roads though as they were all built for the 2002 Olympics...
    They got an arena and an owner w/ a vision. That's what matters at this point.
