In celebration of today’s announcement from the National Hockey League (NHL) about its partnership with Smith Entertainment Group (SEG) that will bring a new NHL team to Utah beginning with the 2024-25 NHL season, SEG owners Ryan and Ashley Smith invite media to attend a press conference with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman at Delta Center tomorrow, Friday, April 19, at 5 p.m. MT. A live stream of the event will be available across NHL properties, including NHL.com / NHL App, NHL Network, and the NHL YouTube channel.

The National Hockey League’s Board of Governors today approved the establishment of a franchise in Utah beginning with the 2024-25 season. The franchise will be owned and controlled by Smith Entertainment Group, which is led by Ryan and Ashley Smith. In addition, the Board approved a plan that renders the Arizona Coyotes franchise inactive, with a right to reactivate if owner Alex Meruelo has fully constructed a new, state-of-the-art facility appropriate for an NHL team within five years.

Effective at closing, the approved transactions will result in the Coyotes’ franchise transferring the totality of its existing hockey assets – including its full Reserve List, roster of Players and draft picks, and its Hockey Operations Department – to the Utah franchise.
