During conversations over the course of the past two years, we have been impressed by Ryan and Ashley Smith's commitment to their community and their passion and vision for Utah, not only as a hockey market but as a preeminent sports and entertainment destination," the league said in a statement. "Utah is a promising market, and we look forward to continuing our discussions."
After a series of questions about the Coyotes at the league's pre-Stanley Cup Final news conference in June, deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed conversations with Smith and his interest in bringing the NHL to Salt Lake City.
