Utah Grizzlies Expected to Relocate to Trenton for 2026–27

A formal announcement is anticipated Tuesday after West Valley City approved a sale to Pro Hockey Partners in July.

Overview

  • The move is reported by insider Frank Seravalli, who says the ECHL club would play at Trenton’s CURE Insurance Arena starting in 2026–27.
  • The franchise will complete the 2025–26 season at the Maverik Center in West Valley City with full commitment from players, coaches, and staff.
  • Trenton would regain ECHL hockey for the first time since the Titans ceased play in 2013, using the same arena as the former franchise.
  • The organization plans a public contest to select a new team name following the expected announcement.
  • The sale follows an ownership transition after founder David Elmore’s death and co-owner Donna Tuttle’s declining health, and Utah will have no ECHL affiliate this season even as the Grizzlies remain aligned with the Colorado Avalanche.
