Utah Hockey Club Inaugural Season Jerseys To Go On Sale November 15

Next up for the Utah Hockey Club will be one of its toughest tests yet: the fourth-place Carolina Hurricanes, who come to town on Wednesday. The Hurricanes have won the most games of any team since the NHL resumed play after the pandemic.

Jerseys bought in the team store at Delta Center will feature exclusive inaugural-season patches on both shoulders; jerseys bought online will not include this. Fans will eventually be able to buy individual patches from the team store. Utah also plans on making game-worn jerseys available for purchase in the team store in the future.

Sebastian Aho is one game-winning goal shy of breaking Ron Francis' franchise record (57). Sean Walker is three points shy of 100 career points. This is Carolina's first game ever against the Utah Hockey Club because they are technically a new franchise.
