The Salt Lake Golden Eagles were a minor professional hockey team based in Salt Lake City from 1969 to 1994.

They played in the Western Hockey League from 1969 to 1974, the Central Hockey League from 1974 to 1984 and the International Hockey League from 1984 to 1994. The Golden Eagles home arena was the Salt Palace from 1969 to 1991, Vivint Smart Home Arena (Which then was called "Delta Center") from 1991 to 1994. 

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Salt Lake Golden Eagles will be playing in the International Hockey League next season, the third league for the Eagles in their 16-year history.

The IHL board of directors, meeting Tuesday in Kalamazoo, Mich., voted 7-0 in approving a one-year agreement between the league and Salt Lake, said Eagle spokesman Marc Amicone.

Salt Lake had played in the old Western Hockey League for six years. The Eagles spent the past nine years in the Central Hockey League, which disbanded following the 1984 playoffs.

'We're hopeful the community will continue to support the team,' said Eagles' co-owner Art Teece. He said Salt Lake will be a non-voting member of the IHL during the one-year agreement.

Under the contract, the Eagles will pay all travel expenses of IHL teams playing in Salt Lake, Amicone said. The Eagles must now contact National Hockey League teams to work out player contracts.

Owners of the CHL's Indianapolis Checkers are also seeking admission to the IHL. Amicone said the league should release its 1984-85 schedule next month. 


In 1994 Larry H. Miller, who also owned the Utah Jazz and the Delta Center, sold the team to Detroit interests. The Golden Eagles became the Detroit Vipers.
