I played for the Salt Lake City Golden Eagles in 1988-89. Won a Turner Cup there. IHL Champions Great city, great hockey fans and an absolute beautiful city to live in. I have great memories of being and playing there. Good luck you’ll be great for the @NHL… https://t.co/AdxI1RwpJg

Salt Lake City is growing up!

✅ NBA
✅ Winter Olympics
✅ Power Four College Sports
✅ MLS

When I was a child, this city had just one of those.
