The NHL team in Salt Lake City will be called the Utah Mammoth going forward, ending a protracted, year-long naming process that began with the Arizona Coyotes becoming the Utah Hockey Club last year.
The franchise revealed its new identity with a video on X on Wednesday.

Of course, fans were already well aware of what name was coming. Some social media users noticed the club's YouTube account had changed its handle to @UtahMammoth in April, and the franchise declined to confirm or deny if the leak was real.
