On Thursday afternoon, Utah Grizzlies Vice President Jared Youngman was interviewing job applicants for sales positions with the minor league hockey team.
He’ll need them on board because the Grizzlies will drop the puck on their 30th season in the Beehive State next October. For the first time since the April 18 announcement of a new National Hockey League team in Utah, Youngman said his East Coast Hockey League club will stay in West Valley City’s Maverik Center.
And he’s open to partnering with the new major league team at some point.
“Currently, the affiliation agreement is with [the] Colorado [Avalanche], but we would love to find ways to rework it and work with NHL Utah,” Youngman said Thursday. “I mean, as of right now, we’re where we’re at. [We’re] not opposed to collaborating and making things work together with NHL Utah.”
The ECHL operates as the third tier of professional hockey in the United States and Canada. It is one of two leagues (the other is the second-tier American Hockey League) recognized by the NHL and its players’ union.
