A lot more work for you guys now. You'll be doing this more than once a year. Congrats, Utah. Welcome to the NHL.

ActuallyI’ve read they will put the ice down once and it will remain all season; they put the basketball court on top of it before each BB game.

@@daboys1215 Yes but not quite in the same way, the ice itself will just remain under the court.

You realize they don't melt the ice to switch from hockey to basketball in multi-purpose arenas? The ice is covered with an insulated surface and the court goes ontop. Then when it's time for hockey again they just uncover the ice.

Do we get our own ice specialist or rent the LA Kings one again for the coyotes?

Will they play at the Maverik center or Delta Center?

Just think. There are alot of arenas that do this on a nightly basis. I do hope that Utha gets a hockey team. Im an Avs fan , Jazz and Nuggets fan as well

Utah is going to need a new arena for both the Jazz and the hockey team

So it’s not a permanent ice rink underneath? Looks like a concrete floor and they just flood it with water. I don’t understand. Doesn’t look how other nhl arenas are

There are pipes underneath the concrete that bring it to the correct temperature to create ice.
