This historic event marks the first-ever competitive game for Utah Hockey Club since the NHL established a franchise in Utah in April 2024 following the sale of the Arizona Coyotes’ hockey assets to the new club. Hockey enthusiasts and sports fans alike can look forward to witnessing NHL action right in the heart of Des Moines. It will be the St. Louis Blues second time playing a preseason game at the arena after facing off with the Minnesota Wild back in 2018.
“We are excited to partner with Community Choice to bring this exciting event to Wells Fargo Arena,” said Chris Connolly, General Manager of the Iowa Events Center. “Whether you are a fan of one of these teams, the Wild, or the sport in general, it’s a fantastic opportunity for central Iowa sports fans to experience NHL-level hockey and kick off the season.”
