John Yorkey left his seat in the fourth row, just to the right of the opposing goaltender, to visit a friend in the upper reaches of the Maverik Center.
That’s what Yorkey, who has driven from Provo to West Valley City to watch the Utah Grizzlies play nearly every home game for two decades, loves about the building. As he said, “It’s built for hockey.”
Personally, I like the acoustics that create a lively atmosphere even with a small, weeknight hockey crowd and capture the sound of a stick catching a pass or a goalie’s pads stopping the puck.
