Utah Hockey Club has a new name. Here’s everything you need to know.: The mammoth is back roaming around Utah. This time, though, it is in the form of an NHL franchise. Smith Entertainment Group announced this week that “Utah Mammoth” is the official name of the team it acquired in April 2024. The group was called “Utah Hockey Club” for its inaugural season; that name will now be retired with the launch of the permanent branding.

Up, Up, Up the Town!: Wrexham secured their place in The Championship with a historic third consecutive promotion by beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 in front of another frenzied crowd at STōK Cae Ras. Oliver Rathbone opened the scoring with a long-range effort through a crowded penalty area 15 minutes from the start. Sam Smith scored an amazing no-look, over-the-shoulder, volley 3 mins later to cushion the lead, and completed the scoring with a thumping header in the second half to guarantee the Red Dragons promotion. Highlights video. Celebrity owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, were on-hand to wildly celebrate the victory and used their on-air time after the win to deflect attention from themselves and commend the staff, players, and supporters. At this point another season of Welcome to Wrexham seems inevitable.
