Keller Named 1st Utah Captain

The Utah Hockey Club announced that star forward Clayton Keller will be the team's first captain in franchise history. 

Keller said...

"I'm extremely honored to be named captain of Utah Hockey Club. I'm grateful for this opportunity and want to thank the entire organization for believing in me. I understand it's a privilege to be a captain in the NHL, and a huge honor to know that management, coaches, and my teammates have the belief in me to lead this team. 

"It's a huge responsibility and one I have prepared my whole life for. We have a room full of great leaders and together, we will work hard to achieve our goal of becoming a playoff team." 

Utah was formerly the Arizona Coyotes until they transferred ownership and relocated to Utah in April. 

The Utah Hockey Club will begin its inaugural season on October 8th against the Chicago Blackhawks.
