The Enoch Rink will host Southern Utah's first hockey game in four years
ENOCH, Utah The barn was built in Enoch. Only in this barn the surface is ice, and it is full of hockey players hitting the boards.
Despite the arrival of the Utah Hockey Club, there has been no ice hockey rink in Utah south of Provo since 2020. That changed Friday night with the opening of a hockey barn in Enoch, just north of Cedar City.
KJs Ice Barn opened its doors Friday evening as the only skating and hockey facility in Southern Utah.
The last such facility, The Glacier in Cedar City, closed in 2020.
The soft opening featured a different kind of Friday night lighting: Southern Utah's first high school hockey games in four years.
For Enoch resident Sue Abbiss, it was the first hockey game she had ever seen.
“I think it will be exciting,” Abbiss said. Yes, something new in the area.
KJ's Ice Barn began rising two years ago from an empty field a few hundred yards off I-15 as the dream of Kerry Jo Fain, a lifelong hockey fan. She wasn't there on Friday night to see her dream come true. She died of colon cancer at the age of 42.
But her family carried on that dream and the legacy was hitting, falling and scoring on the ice.
It also drew people from all over Southern Utah, including some who drove about an hour north of St. George.
“I always loved hockey, so I always dreamed of my kids being able to play,” said St. George resident Jonathan Edie, who brought his hockey-loving children. I didn't expect this to happen in St. George anytime soon.
The Red Rock Youth Hockey Club has been around in Southern Utah for a few years, but without ice, the hockey players have only played ball hockey.
Yes, I'm good at skating. I don't know if I would be good at hockey or skating, said Red Rock Hockey goalie Skylee Henwood, 12. Because I do faceplanting every time, but yeah, I think it'll be nice to actually be able to try that as an option.
On Friday night, the Southern Utah Independent Yetis, made up of high school students from across Southern Utah, took on the Tooele Outlaws. And at least the JV held on and pushed the more experienced Tooele into overtime.
A junior hockey team, the Southern Utah Yeti, will call the barn their home ice. Yeti was adopted as KJ's nickname and Ice Barns mascot for at least a year before it became one of the possible nicknames for the Utah Hockey Club.
There is another connection between KJ's Ice Barn and the Utah Hockey Club. The Zamboni? It used to belong to the Glendale arena that housed the Arizona Coyotes for two years before moving to Salt Lake City.
They got it pretty cheap.
