Utah Hockey Club Becomes the Mammoth

The Utah Mammoth has officially stomped onto the NHL scene, marking a bold new chapter for professional hockey in the state. After a 13-month process involving four rounds of fan voting and over 850,000 votes, the franchise unveiled its permanent identity. The name pays homage to the mammoths that roamed Utah during the last Ice Age, symbolizing strength, resilience, and an unstoppable force on the ice.

The Mountain Mammoth logo is a striking representation of Utah’s landscape and heritage. It features the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains, the outline of the state embedded in the peaks, and curved tusks forming a bold “U”. The team’s colors—Rock Black, Mountain Blue, and Salt White—remain consistent with the Utah Hockey Club’s inaugural season.

As the home of the center ice archive, it’s only fitting that we look ahead to what Utah’s center ice might become. Our concept rink design keeps it simple, featuring only the primary logo at center ice. However, given the talent behind Utah’s graphics team—including a designer from Vegas who played a key role in crafting some truly unique and visually stunning ice layouts—we wouldn’t be surprised to see something more inventive for Utah. The possibilities are wide open, and if history is any indicator, we could be in for something bold, creative, and unmistakably Mammoth.
