SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Tusky, the Utah Mammoth mascot, shattered through a block of ice to make a thrilling debut in front of fans during the home opener at Delta Center.
Before their matchup against the Calgary Flames, the Utah Mammoth unveiled their 6-foot-5 “mountain blue” mascot, Tusky, on Wednesday night.
Tusky’s introduction as the official mascot was another milestone reached for the National Hockey League’s newest franchise.

Like the players, Tusky donned the Mammoth’s black home jerseys, except Tusky has a dark blue mohawk, blue fur, white tusks, and a long blue trunk.
“We named the Utah Mammoth mascot Tusky to lean into our team’s ‘Tusks Up’ rallying cry,” said Ryan and Ashley Smith, owners of the Utah Mammoth. “Tusky is going to be a big part of our community, creating memorable experiences in and out of the arena. Fans can expect to see Tusky everywhere — from Mammoth games and team events to community gatherings, schools, and hospitals. We are excited for fans to get to know Tusky this season.”
Tusky embodies the strength, momentum, and earth-shaking presence of the mammoth herds that once roamed Utah more than 10,000 years ago, according to the Utah Mammoth owners.
Tusky will be at Mammoth home games throughout the 2025-26 NHL season. Fans are also expected to see Tusky at community events across the state.
