SLC Puck! in your inbox! Issue #3 - Monday, 3/10/25
Hey Puckers,
Normally, I would ever go anywhere near a vegetable. However, this week’s news was so exciting, I made the ridiculous choice to celebrate by taking a bite of broccoli.
How’d it turn out? You’ll have to watch the latest episode of SLC Puck to find out.
Hope you enjoy.

🔥 Utah Hockey Club Report
Last Week’s Results:
Thursday, March 6: at Detroit Red Wings ✅ W, 4-2
🏒 Friday, March 7: at Chicago Blackhawks ❌ OTL, 4-3
Upcoming Games:
🏒 Monday, March 10: vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
🏒 Wednesday, March 12: vs. Anaheim Ducks
🏒 Friday, March 14: at Seattle Kraken
Player of the Week: Karel Vejmelka played both games of a back-to-back, including 21 hard-earned saves against Chicago. His efforts on Friday gave Utah a chance to win in overtime, which unfortunately, didn’t happen. Still, he saved a point for the Club. A loss to the Blackhawks last Friday would have been catastrophic for our playoff hopes.
Quick Take: Utah still has a chance to make the postseason, but it’s going to require a complete effort in each of the team’s remaining 19 games. No nights off. Seattle has been crappy this season, but looking past Friday’s matchup could be disastrous. Keep the pedal to the metal, fellas.
