    2025/08/05
    The Utah Mammoth have officially arrived—and in this episode of Beehive Sports Report, we take an in-depth look at their very first NHL season since relocating from Arizona.

    It was a whirlwind transition: a franchise move approved in record time, a passionate new ownership group led by Ryan and Ashley Smith, and a city eager to embrace major league hockey for the first time. We break down how the Mammoth exceeded expectations on the ice, the electric atmosphere they’ve created in Salt Lake City, and the impressive fan turnout that caught the attention of the entire league.

    But it hasn’t been without growing pains—from playing in a basketball arena not quite built for hockey, to the challenges of rebranding a storied franchise in a new market. We’ll also explore what’s next for Utah’s hockey future, including potential arena upgrades, offseason moves, and how the Mammoth are building a lasting hockey culture in a city known more for basketball and football.

    Rebuilding the Jazz: Why Their Uneventful Offseason is a Step in the Right Direction
    2025/08/05
    The very first episode of Beehive Sports Report tips off with a full breakdown of the Utah Jazz offseason. Host Zach Quinn is joined by basketball analyst Jake — who brings experience with the Indiana Pacers, a team he calls the “Jazz of the East.” Together, they dig into every roster move, draft decision, and front office shake-up shaping the next era of Jazz basketball.

    From major trades like Collin Sexton for Jusuf Nurkic, to drafting Ace Bailey and bringing in new coaching voices, we’re grading each step of the offseason — player movement, the NBA Draft, and the cultural reset under Austin Ainge and Will Hardy — before giving the Jazz an overall report card. Along the way, Zach and Jake debate where the franchise is headed, how long the rebuild might last, and whether Utah’s direction inspires confidence or concern heading into 2025–26.
