Jack McBain, Maveric Lamoureux and Matias Maccelli each received a few votes
While these players weren’t as popular as others, there were a few fans who have developed an appreciation for Jack McBain, Maveric Lamoureux and Matias Maccelli. As the second-leading goal scorer (8) on the team, McBain has been on fire as of late while rookie Lamoureux has impressed in his first stretch of NHL games.
Additionally, how can you not like a player with a name like Matias Maccelli that just rolls off the tongue?
Jack McBain

Love them all but I really like Maverick.

Karel Vejmelka, Clayton Keller and Logan Cooley are fairly popular amongst fans
With each player receiving a strong number of votes, Karel Vejmelka, Clayton Keller and Logan Cooley were all fairly popular as well.
As the first-ever Utah Hockey Club Captain and the team’s current points leader (22), it’s no surprise that Keller has dazzled fans with his All-Star abilities. As for Vejmelka, he boasts a .917 save percentage and has played remarkably well since taking over the top goaltender spot in absence of Connor Ingram.
Man that’s tough. I’d have to say Clayton Keller. But they’re all awesome!

As an OG Coyotes fan they are all my boys, but Keller is the heart and soul. He traditionally goes on a heater after the all star break and I’m here for it.

Karel Vejmelka. Goalies are awesome
— Ashley Brewer (@heyashtweeted) November 30, 2024
Vejmelka all the way
— Countess SALTY (@sreynolds56) November 30, 2024
Meanwhile, Cooley is easily one of the most exciting players to watch on Utah’s roster because of his jaw dropping speed, crafty moves and current five-game point streak.
Logan Cooley. Love his motor.

Dylan Guenther is already a beloved star for Utah Hockey Club
As a pure sharpshooter and the leading goal scorer (10) for the Utah Hockey Club, Dylan Guenther is already a special player and beloved young star in Salt Lake City.

Mikhail Sergachev appears to be the clear Utah Hockey Club fan favorite
After being traded from Tampa Bay during the offseason, defenseman Mikhail Sergachev has lived up to every expectation and then some. Currently, No. 98 has six goals, 10 assists, 16 points, 40 blocks and delivered 15 hits while skating almost 26 minutes a night (team-high).

As a lightning fan, I am so happy to see how much your fan base loves and appreciates Sergy. He is awesome. Hated to see him traded. Love that he has found an appreciative fan base.
