Stay True or Start New?

In this episode of UTalk Hockey, Champ and Denz dive into the excitement surrounding the Utah Hockey Club’s first look at their home jerseys, which made a big splash at the NHLPA Rookie Showcase. The duo breaks down the color scheme, design choices, and overall vibe of the team’s new identity. Of course, they’ll share some fan reactions, chirps from online, and their own takes on what this uniform means for Utah’s debut on the NHL stage. Spoiler alert: Denz shares a comparison that some may not like, especially those north of the point of the mountain...

Also on the docket, the guys introduce the broadcast team for Utah 16, where Matt McConnell will return for play-by-play alongside analysts Dominic Moore and Nick Olyczyk. Kim Becker takes over as studio host, with Sarah Merrifield reporting rinkside. Plus some signing news—Stanley Cup champ Robert Bortuzzo joins the UHC defense, bringing experience and grit as he moves between the NHL and AHL. Champ and Denz discuss how Bortuzzo’s presence will toughen up the blueline and what it means for Utah’s first season.

Lastly, we revisit the Puck of the Week contest, giving listeners a chance to win two tickets to the UHC's preseason game against the Kings at the Delta Center. Share any episode of UTalk Hockey on social, tag us, and you’re entered to win!

Wrapping things up, Champ and Denz take on a fan question about loyalty to a team you’ve never seen play. Can you truly be a fan without experiencing the highs and lows of a season? It’s a lively debate that’ll make you question your own hockey loyalties!
