SALT LAKE CITY – Following significant injuries to the Utah Hockey Club’s Sean Durzi and John Marino, both defensemen recently underwent successful surgeries, and a timeline has been established for when they are expected to return to the ice. In response to both injuries, the club called up another defenseman from the Tucson Roadrunners – Maveric Lamoureux.

Utah Hockey Club Defenseman Sean Durzi

Early last week, defenseman Sean Durzi suffered an upper-body injury against the New Jersey Devils. After taking a hit against the boards from Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler, Durzi immediately exited the ice and was favoring his right arm.

On Wednesday, it was confirmed by the club that Durzi underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder and is expected to return in 4-6 months.

Utah Hockey Club Defenseman John Marino

During a summer training session, newly acquired defenseman John Marino suffered an upper body injury and was held out of training camp.

While it was originally listed as a week-to-week injury and a return was anticipated much sooner, the Utah Hockey Club revealed that Marino underwent successful surgery on his lower back and is expected to return in 3-4 months.

In spite of injuries, Utah Hockey Club recalls Maveric Lamoureux

With injuries piling up on their blue-line, the Utah Hockey Club has recalled defenseman Maveric Lamoureux from the Tucson Roadrunners (AHL affiliate).

A standout from rookie camp, Lamoureux is a former first round selection from the 2022 NHL Draft.

After making a statement in the rookie tournament with some goals, assists and stellar defensive play, Lamoureux remained consistent throughout training camp and provided steady performances while making an appearance in the preseason home opener.

“He’s been great. He’s been a consistent presence through rookie camp and now into practices and the exhibition game. He’s certainly approaching this like he wants to make our team. We’re happy he got past his injuries and now he’s taking that next step. He’s going to play some more exhibition games for us, and we’ll see what he’s got. You never know,” GM Bill Armstrong told KSL Sports.

For now, the Utah Hockey Club will rely on its prospect depth to fill in for Durzi and Marino. While it’s an exciting opportunity for Lamoureux to potentially see NHL minutes, unless he can quickly acclimate, the club may need to look to the free agent market or consider some trades if they wish to compete for a playoff spot this season.
