Video: Utah Hockey Podcast Ep. 40: A Brief History of Time (UHP Edition)

Michael Wolfe is a lifelong hockey fan who grew up in Chugiak, Alaska. Now a proud Utah resident, he started a social media platform independently covering the NHL’s newest franchise before they technically existed. What started as a passion project turned into a front-row seat to the rise of NHL hockey in Utah. When he’s not talking Mammoth hockey on the Utah Hockey Podcast or @nhlutah (Instagram), Michael hangs out with his wife and two kids. He also owns a marketing agency where he spends his days convincing clients that power plays and brand strategy are basically the same thing (they are). He proudly bleeds Mountain Blue… which is either devotion or a medical issue.

Kelly Quiel is a former middle school teacher turned full-time mom who has been playing hockey in Utah for nearly two decades. She and her husband won the high school hockey state championship (twice, both times against Cole’s high school, before Cole was old enough to be on the team). Kelly is often found in the mountains of Utah with her sons, reenacting the Eras Tour loudly and/or doing comedy bits. She’s a fierce advocate for the underrepresented and treasures featuring women in hockey with the Utah Alpuckas, Utah Howl, and broadcasting for the University of Utah women’s hockey team. She credits herself alongside Ryan Smith for bringing the Mammoth to Utah—him with the wallet, and her with the manifesting.

The Utah Hockey Podcast is a dynamic look at the Utah Mammoth franchise from its very beginning as Wolfey, Cole, and Kelly simplify the game and the NHL for new fans, deep dive and analyze for life-long hockey fans, and add their own hilarious and unfiltered takes along the way.
