Hey Puckers,
Welcome to Issue #4 of the SLC Puck newsletter. I’m putting this together today, Thursday, March 14, because the game last night didn’t end until well after 11 p.m. Whose idea was it to have two games starting after 8 p.m. this week? I’m dying. Anyway,
This week’s topics:
🗣️ Utah players and fans both show a lot of care, on and off the ice.
🙌 University of Utah hockey seeks National Championship this week
📰 News and rumors from around the NHL.
and more!!!
Hope you enjoy.

🔥 Utah Hockey Club Report
Record: 29-25-11, 69 points, 6th place in Central Division
Playoff picture: Utah remains on the bubble for the last wild card spot in the Western Conference.
Wild Card Spot #2: Calgary (71 points, 65 games played)
First team out: Vancouver (69 points, 65 games played)
In the mix: St. Louis (69 points, 65 games played) and Utah (69 points, 65 games played) TIED
Upcoming Games:
🏒 Friday, March 15: at Seattle Kraken
🏒 Sunday, March 17: at Vancouver Canucks
Quick Take: While Sunday’s game against the Canucks might be the biggest game of the year, Utah can’t afford to look past Seattle, one of the worst teams in the NHL this season. This could be a potential trap game.
🏒 Around Utah Hockey
College & High School Hockey:
University of Utah Hockey is headed to the ACHA National Tournament, playing after a first round bye.
As a club team, the Skatin’ Utes need some financial support. Let’s give them an assist. More info here.

Hockey 101 by Utah Hockey Club: Saturday, March 15 in Lindon

Retro night on March 29 sounds pretty dope. I love the old Grizzlies look and uniform.

🌍 NHL & Hockey World Buzz
Top NHL Headlines:
Washington Capitals legend Alex Ovechkin is now just 9 goals away from tying Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record, once thought unbreakable.
More than likely, he’ll get it by the end of the season. He’s turning this moment into something even more meaningful: to raise money for cancer research.
