As a long suffering fan stuck with an ECHL squad, I miss the days of the IHL and AHL, I really hope the Salt Lake speculation turns true. That it would be Calgary's farm team would be a sweet cherry on top of a sweet pie slathered in whip cream.
As a local, it feels like Salt Lake's reputation is changing. For example the Utah Jazz had a rare off season of bringing multiple upper tier free agents, when in years past that would be unimaginable. Also, in Theo Fleury's book, he said Salt Lake was the first place he did cocaine (not that it's a selling point or even a note of pride, just it's not exactly the locked up Puritanical paradise it's portrayed to be) and on top of that, there's even a lesbian mayor.
So, that's all. Mostly I wanted to write that I hope to see the farm here soon.
