History
The franchise was founded in the Western States Hockey League as the 'Park City Moose'. After one season the team relocated to Salt Lake City and began playing out of the Accord Ice Rink in the suburb of West Valley City. In 2016, after reaching an agreement with the Utah Hockey School, the team rebranded as the Utah Outliers.Utah was rather successful after the name change, winning at least 30 games for four consecutive years. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the WSHL not only cancelled the 2020 postseason but would not be active for the entirety of 2020–21. As a result, Utah was one of several teams to leave the league and joined the rival United States Premier Hockey League. The team became members of the Premier Division. After the truncated COVID season, Utah returned to its winning ways and captured back-to-back regular season titles.
In 2022, the USPHL decided to expand its Tier II footprint west and promoted the entire Mountain division to the National Collegiate Development Conference. Utah was one of the six clubs to benefit from this move and began its time in Tier II hockey in the fall of 2023.
August 29025, the Outliers announced that they will be re-locating to Park City and will play out of the Black Mountain Resort Arena. The team will retain their moniker, the '''Utah Outliers'''
