GRAB SOME ICE GIVEAWAY: https://www.slcpuck.com/p/giveaway-grab-some-ice

Exit, Utah Hockey Club. Enter, Utah Mammoth. The team once known as the club without a name or identity unveiled its permanent look and moniker on Wednesday under the Utah Mammoth brand. As SLC Puck host Austin Facer observed, the named seemed to be a hit not only with local fans — who lined up around the block to buy new merchandise at the Delta Center — but also with the larger sports world at large.

But a cool new name and logo wasn’t the only good fortune that Utah fans enjoyed this week. On Monday, the Mammoth moved up in the NHL Draft Lottery to the 4th overall pick. Facer calls this a huge accelerant for the team’s trajectory, saying it could provide general manager Bill Armstrong with all kinds of options this summer.
