WEST VALLEY CITY, UTAH * Jerry McBurney and Utah Grizzlies owners David Elmore and Donna Tuttle announced today that McBurney is leaving his position of Executive Vice President to pursue other interests.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the ?E? Center next year as a season ticket holder.*
*We are sorry to see Jerry go, he had an excellent relationship with our fans and our season ticket holders in what has been a very difficult and disappointing season,* said Elmore. *We look forward to Jerry?s continued support and help as we rebuild hockey in Utah.*
