Utah Mammoth is a professional hockey team based in Salt Lake City, USA. Founded in 2024 after acquiring the hockey assets of the Arizona Coyotes, they play their home games at the Delta Center. They compete in the Central Division of the Western Conference in the NHL.
As early as 2023, Salt Lake City was named a potential NHL destination, with the Arizona Coyotes’ future looking increasingly uncertain after a proposed new arena in Arizona was rejected. Instead, Ryan Smith, owner of the NBA’s Utah Jazz, petitioned for the NHL to expand to Salt Lake City. In April 2024, the NHL approved the Coyotes’ relocation. Smith acquired the Coyotes’ hockey assets, including players, coaching staff, and draft picks. On April 18, the team was officially established. For their inaugural 2024-25 season, they played with a temporary name, Utah Hockey Club, and colors. On May 7th, 2025, they announced their new name, Utah Mammoth, and their new logo.
Utah reached the playoffs for the first time in 2026, losing to Vegas in the first round, and hosts the Colorado Avalanche in the Winter Classic on 31 December 2026.
