The Utah Hockey Club does not confirm the name “Mammut” after obvious leak

Officials from the Utah Hockey Club would not confirm whether “Mammoth” was her new name after he was supposed to do the team's official YouTube channel on Tuesday evening.

Fans and media noticed that the grip of the canal from “@utah hockey club” to “@utahmammoth” was changed on his landing page and URL. The canal was soon deactivated and remained on Wednesday morning, but not before screenshots of the name change became viral.

Utah Mammoth was one of three finalists who could be seen in a fan vote in the Delta Center to determine the constant name of the team, who played his opening season 2024-25 after SEG bought and relocated the former franchise from Arizona Coyotes. The fans voted with iPads at stations around the arena with names, logos and potential branding for every option.

Originally, the three names chosen by Utah Mammoth, Utah Hockey Club and Utah Wasatch, which were quickly exchanged for Utah Outlaws after the team voted early.

Mammoth did the last four in the first fan vote last year.

Utah HC managers would not confirm or deny that Mammoth will be the team's new nickname.

Mike Maugughan, a manager of the Utah HC owner Smith Entertainment Group, said on Wednesday that “progress in the exploration of all three name options that our fans selected as finalists continues. To share fans when we do it. “

When Maughan was pushed for an explanation of the alleged YouTube leak, he only said: “We are on the right track to announce a permanent name and a permanent identity before the NHL season with 25-26.”

ESPN announced an NHL source that the revelation for the new name and the team's logo could come before the NHL design at the end of June. This year's design is a “decentralized” event, which means that teams are selected more from their own websites than in a central location. This opens Utah the door to organize an event in Salt Lake City with team officials to organize the design.

In other news in Utah HC, the team announced on Wednesday that Delta Center, the home of Utah HC and the Utah Jazz, will carry out a renovation to optimize hockey lines and at the same time are retained the proximity of basketball fans to the Court of Justice by using a integrated seating system for the latest state of technology. It is a multi -year project that will also create a new main entrance and a new place outdoors.

The first seating system for the factual point offers an altitude of almost 12 feet between the ice rink and lines of court in order to offer optimal visual lines for both the NBA and NHL. Every seat in the lower bowl has a full view of the ice at the beginning of the next season – the team estimates that 400 seats can currently only see one goal network during the games.

The new hockey configuration increases the capacity behind the gates and over and around and around the event tunnel on the north and south side of the lower bowl and improves access to seating behind the boards.

When all renovation work has been completed, the seating capacity for hockey increases from 11.131 to approx. 17,000 – with each seat in the upper and lower shells on both goals – and the capacity for basketball from 18.206 increases to almost 19,000 seats.

“Delta Center was built for basketball. If you set up the size of an ice sheet in this event location with these visual lines, the geometry simply does not work. There you have the configuration of the riser system.

“We absolutely protect the basketball experience, but then also create a great hockey experience in which all seats can see the whole ice,” he said.
