SALT LAKE CITY — For the first time, the Utah Hockey Club welcomes the Colorado Avalanche to the friendly confines of Delta Center on Thursday.

While hockey rivalries are usually born in the playoffs, for now, it seems the Avalanche will be Utah's natural rival. Austin Facer expects to see a divided crowd in Utah, and maybe even some fans cheering after either team scores.

The team's 2022 first round pick, Maverick Lamoureux, is set to make his NHL debut on Thursday. His scouting report touts him as "ultra physical." That's something Utah will need if they want to start their regular season rivalry with Colorado off right.

Maybe Michael Carcone's son, who was seen on social media "fighting" his dad's teammates, could show the team a thing or two.

SLC Puck! is a twice-weekly podcast on Utah's hockey scene hosted by local hockey expert Austin Facer. You can follow SLC Puck on social media at @slcpuck.
