There once was a hockey team, who played for a quarter century in the city of Salt Lake. For many years, this hockey team was the only professional sports in town during the Winter. And successful it was.
The Salt Lake Golden Eagles played for 25 years, from 1969 to 1994. They survived two hockey leagues going out of business, a pro basketball team, the Utah Stars, who won a championship, and won championships in two of the hockey leagues it was in. It survived the United States' lean years of hockey in the late 70s/early 80s, when many people thought hockey was a thing of the past, and basketball would be the only Winter sport.
In 1994, as the sport of hockey was at an all time high in popularity in the United States, the Golden Eagles were sold. They were sold by Larry Miller, owner of the Utah Jazz, to a Detroit group for the price of $5,000,000. Miller said he was losing too much money on the team.
Miller, who had at one time called hockey fans crass and dangerous (when he bought the Golden Eagles Franchise from Art Teece, he stood up in front of the hockey fans and said this), didn't support the team enough. First, he had an excellent hockey venue, the Salt Palace, torn down as part of the agreement to build the Delta Center. The Delta Center leaves something to be desired as a hockey arena. Second, the team was not promoted properly. Two seasons after the Eagles' death, the Grizzlies had a rather successful season at the Delta Center. In fact, on the night they won the Turner Cup in 1996, their attendance was higher than it was at Stanley Cup Game 3 in Florida.

I am not writing this to be mean towards Larry Miller. The man runs a very successful basketball franchise.
My purpose in writing this historical homepage is twofold. First, I am trying to preserve some old but good memories. Information such as this is hard to come by, and it should be preserved somehow. Second, in keeping this history alive, it is my hope that the past may not be repeated. Throughout this century, hockey's popularity has ebbed and flowed. What in one year can be a good thing, seems to sour quickly the next. This can be seen over and over again in professional hockey. I hope hockey fans everywhere will take this to heart and support hockey on a local level and keep history from repeating itself.
