NHL Utah are ready to make their debut in 2024-25, and now, we know exactly who will be behind the bench and in the front office when their tenure begins.

There's still so many questions left to be answered, but on Friday, new owner Ryan Smith has revealed the names that will be in the Head Coach and General Manager role.
Ryan Smith confirms GM Bill Armstrong and head coach Andre Tourigny will remain with the NHL Utah franchise.
