Utah Grizzlies
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Utah Grizzlies are a professional ice hockey team in the American Hockey League based in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. They were formerly affiliated with the Phoenix Coyotes.
The franchise was granted a voluntary suspension for the 2005-2006 season because the owner is looking to sell the AHL franchise. A team named the Grizzlies will still play, but in the ECHL http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,600134970,00.html]
The team started in the International Hockey League in 1994-95 as the Denver Grizzlies, winning the Turner Cup that year. The team, which moved to Utah following their only season in Denver, was admitted to the AHL when the IHL folded in 2001. They currently play their home games in the E Center.
