SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Mammoth owner Ryan Smith said in March: “Smith Entertainment Group is all in on growing hockey in Utah and doing it fast.”

That quote was attached to Smith’s announcement that SEG would donate up to $500,000 per rink on up to 20 new ice rinks in Utah. The promise to grow the sport of hockey quickly got another jolt on Tuesday when the Mammoth announced a statewide tour from July 26 to Aug. 2, dubbed “Mammoth Week.”

“From day one, our mission has been for children, families and community members across all of Utah to have the opportunity to connect with the Utah Mammoth and experience the sport of hockey for themselves,” Mammoth president Chris Armstrong said.

The Mammoth will visit seven cities, beginning July 26 at Eccles Ice Arena in Logan and finishing Aug. 2 at Red Rock Ball Facility in St. George, to offer a series of events, including free street hockey clinics and “affordable” on-ice clinics for youth participants.

The announcement comes on the heels of last week’s Mammoth development camp scrimmage, where 500 youth hockey players were invited to watch the closed scrimmage between Utah’s top prospects at the Olympic Oval in Kearns.

“It’s everything to be able to inspire the young kids in Utah and inspire more kids to play this amazing game that we’re all very fortunate to work in,” Armstrong said at the scrimmage. “We decided to really make the focus on youth and hopefully inspire a whole lot of young kids.”

During the scrimmage, recent draft picks like Dmitri Simashev and Cole Beaudoin made their case to be the next major league debutants in Utah, joining the young core of Dylan Guenther and Logan Cooley.

The oldest of Utah’s young core, 25-year-old restricted free agent Jack McBain, signed a five-year contract extension on Monday worth $4.25 million per year, signaling a commitment from both the team and player sides to continue the youth movement that general manager Bill Armstrong and head coach Andre Tourigny started in Arizona.

“Jack is an important part of the championship-caliber team we are building,” Bill Armstrong said. “We look forward to having him back on our roster for the foreseeable future.”

The club also promised “surprise guests” at the seven stops during Mammoth Week, including Mammoth players. Non-hockey activities at each event will include a retail pop-up shop, team-branded giveaways and “immersive activities.”
