The Utah Blaze is an Arena Football League team based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
History
The Utah Blaze began play on January 28, 2006, playing the San Jose SaberCats on the road. The team is coached by longtime Arizona Rattlers coach Danny White and plays its home games at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, home of the National Basketball Association's Utah Jazz. The team is owned by automobile businessmen John Garff, Robert Garff, and Brett Hopkins. The team is also referred to as the Salt Lake Blaze, especially by major media outlets ESPN and CNN, but this is not an official name.
On Sunday, February 12, 2006, the Blaze lost to the New York Dragons 84-81 in the second highest scoring game in the history of the Arena Football League with a combined score of 165. The Blaze' performance was also the second highest score for a losing team in the AFL's 20-year history.
Despite a losing record of 7-9, the Blaze got into the playoffs as an AC Wildcard (the conference's #6 seed). Unfortunately, the newly formed Blaze were given the boot as they lost to the Arizona Rattlers with a final score of 57-34.
