Salt Lake Golden Eagles 1990-91 Program

The Salt Lake Golden Eagles played in the Western Hockey League (WHL) from 1969 to 1974, the Central Hockey League (CHL) from 1974 to 1984 and the International Hockey League (IHL) from 1984 to 1994.

The Golden Eagles were well supported and had a rich history including the 1974 CHL Title—plus back-to-back championships in the CHL (1979–80, 1980-81) and the IHL (1986–87, 1987–88).

The Golden Eagles home arena was the Salt Palace from 1969 to 1991 and Vivint Smart Home Arena (Which then was called “Delta Center”) from 1991 to 1994. In 1994 at the peak of hockey interest in Utah, the Golden Eagles were sold for $5 million and became the Detroit Vipers.
