WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (ABC4) — The Utah Grizzlies announced on social media Sunday evening they have begun the process of exploring a potential sale of the team.
“This is an emotional and difficult moment for our family and our organization,” the Elmore Sports Group, current owners of the Grizzlies, said in a statement. “Utah has been more than a home—it has been part of our identity. But ensuring the Grizzlies have the opportunity to thrive in the future may require new ownership and, potentially, a new home.”
The team says in their statement the decision to explore a sale follows a period of transition for the longtime owners, following the death of former owner Dave Elmore in 2023 and the declining health of current co-owner Donna Tuttle.
The Grizzlies will compete in the 2025-26 season as normal.
No official sale or possible relocation has been finalized as both will require formal approval from the ECHL and other stakeholders.
The Grizzlies have been playing in Utah since 1995 when the team moved from Denver and have been playing at the Maverik Center since its opening in 1997.
