The Wait is Over: Utah's NHL team name revealed

  • On May 7, 2025, Utah's NHL team officially announced its permanent name as the Utah Mammoth at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
  • The naming followed a 13-month process starting in April 2024 with over 850,000 fan votes across multiple rounds and trademark challenges, including the exclusion of 'Yeti'.
  • The new branding includes logos featuring a mammoth head with Wasatch mountains and Utah’s outline, and jerseys maintaining the previous blue, black, and white color scheme.
  • Ryan and Ashley Smith, who own the team, explained that the Utah Mammoth name represents their identity and honors the state’s rich prehistoric past, highlighted by widespread mammoth fossil discoveries and a complete skeleton unearthed in 1988.
  • The Utah Mammoth name marks a new era for the franchise formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes, with merchandise sales beginning May 14 and ongoing arena renovations preparing for future seasons.
