ICYMI: Ryan Smith Gets Game Puck For Inaugural Win

As the Utah Hockey Club prepares to face the New York Islanders in their first-ever road game in just over 30 minutes from now, owner Ryan Smith and his wife, Ashley, had different reason to celebrate Tuesday.

The owner was awarded the game puck from captain Clayton Keller, as posted by the club this morning on social media, in honor of the squad's first win against Chicago in the historic Inaugural Game.

He will for sure be watching from afar tonight as the team takes on the Isles in upstate New York, where forward Michael Carcone will make his season debut this evening.

The game will be broadcast locally on KUPX Utah 16, with streaming available on SEG+ and UtahHC+, with radio provided by 97.5 FM/1280 AM The KSL Sports Zone.

For those outside of Utah HC's broadcast area, streaming is available nationally via ESPN+ and their NHL Power Play package.
