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.

Too bad as I really did like Utah HC. They're dead to me now.

The only Coyote that would aspire to turn into a Mammoth is a character named Wile E.

Something about Utah...

When a team moves there and they don't change the name, it gets weird (Jazz).

The pale blue color is as lame for this team as it is for the Titans, UNC and Microsoft. Especially compared to some of the cool graphic design concepts that the Arizona team had.

And are messages on the arena's video board going to be called Mammograms?

I was rooting for Yeti but my hopes tumbled.
