The NHL franchise based in Salt Lake City has officially rebranded as the Utah Mammoth, a name that reflects the team's commitment to its community. Owners Ryan and Ashley Smith announced this decision after extensive fan consultation, showcasing their dedication to building a franchise for the people of Utah. The Mammoth replaces the temporary name, Utah Hockey Club, with a design that pays homage to Utah's mountainous landscape and mammoth fossils found in the area.

The Mammoth are set to embark on an exciting journey with the fourth overall pick in the upcoming NHL draft and over $20 million available in salary cap space, offering the opportunity for significant roster improvements. Young talents like captain Clayton Keller and promising goaltender Karel Vejmelka are poised to lead the team, as they aim for playoff contention in the near future.
