The Utah Mammoth have a new name, logo, practice facility and renovated arena in their second season in Salt Lake City.
And now they have a new mascot.
The Mammoth unveiled Tusky on Wednesday, Oct. 15, before the team’s home opener against the Calgary Flames at the Delta Center.
“Standing 6-feet-5-inches tall, Tusky the Mammoth connects the team’s bold brand identity with Utah’s prehistoric past,” the team said in a statement. “With Mountain Blue fur, Dark Blue mohawk, Salt White tusks, and a long blue trunk, Tusky embodies the strength, momentum and earth-shaking presence of the herds that once roamed Utah more than 10,000 years ago.”

The name fits in with the team’s new “Tusks Up” slogan.
The Jazz Bear had been the Mammoth’s temporary mascot last season, when the team was known as the Utah Hockey Club. Ryan and Ashley Smith own both the Mammoth and Jazz.
Tusky is the latest mascot in the NHL, joining the Flyers’ Gritty, the Predators’ Gnash, the Capitals’ Slapshot and others. It will have social media accounts at @TuskyNHL.
