    The fan favorite forward arrived in the Beehive State early Saturday morning.

    The first time forward Liam O'Brien introduced himself to the crowd, he asked them to call him his nickname, "Spicy Tuna", given to him by forward Jordan Schmaltz during O'Brien's stint in the minor leagues.

    Now, after being rewarded with a three-year contract that keeps him in the Beehive State for the foreseeable future, he's officially home.

    In a post on social media Saturday, the forward arrived at the Salt Lake City airport, and what was the first thing he was handed?

    A spicy tuna sushi roll, of course!

    O'Brien looks to be part of a ferocious bottom-six group that includes him, Michael Carcone, and new signing Kevin Stenlund, a trio that could form a bruising fourth line.

    But for now, we'll just enjoy as Spicy Tuna enjoys his namesake food as he gets back to work.
