Actually you know what I'm not done talking about this. I have seen so many posts about people being like "UTAH??? The mormons don't deserve hockey!!! It's so conservative and there's basically a cult there!!!" I promise you there are states that are FAR more conservative that have NHL teams, and like... Why does the political alignment of the state matter in this context??? Besides if you were to go to Salt Lake or Ogden or even Park City you'd realize that this place is pretty damn accepting despite all the mormons. Utah has one of the biggest queer populations in the country. Also I know SO MANY people who are hockey fans here that are ecstatic! And I know so many people who AREN'T hockey fans that are ecstatic and plan on going to their games! "The population of SLC is so small in comparison to other NHL cities though" buddy have you ever heard of surrounding cities??? The whole Wasatch Front will be going to those games. There's a shit ton of cities surrounding SLC. Idk I'm sorry I'm just really sick and tired of seeing people being assholes about this whole thing. Yes, people are allowed to be upset about the Yotes being relocated. I understand that. But ffs be mad at the NHL, not Utah.
