I wonder if Salt Lake City should be a hub for the west. Proximity wise it is centrally located for most teams. I think that in terms of Covid numbers so far it has done pretty well. Assuming that the old facilities from the Olympics are still usable they have a significant number of ice sheets in a small area. They have the main facility in downtown Salt Lake, Vivint Arena, although that usually doesn't have ice. They have the Maverick Center which is a 10,000 seat arena. There is the Peaks Arena in Provo which has two rinks. There is the Ice Sheet in Ogden and two more sheets of ice near downtown Salt Lake at the Olympic Oval. They might have some more rinks in the area as well.
Seems like a great neutral site.
