Logan Cooley signs eight-year extension with Utah Mammoth
After months of negotiations, the Utah Mammoth and Logan Cooley finally settled on a new contract extension that will see Cooley in a Mammoth sweater through the 2034 season.
With an Average Annual Value of $10M, the Mammoth locked Cooley up at a very reasonable number given his undeniable superstar potential and the rapidly rising NHL cap.
Notably, they were also able to sign him to a max term of eight years which is significant as the max term next season will only be seven seasons.
The future is bright for Logan Cooley. 🌟

“I’m excited to sign an eight-year extension with the Mammoth,” Cooley told NHL.com. “Choosing to play with this group of teammates was the easiest part of this decision, and living in Utah has been amazing since day one. The atmosphere at the Delta Center in front of our fans is unreal and Ryan and Ashley Smith have given our team every resource to succeed, which is all you can ask for as a player.
“We have an opportunity to do something special here thanks to the incredible people in the organization. This is an awesome day for me and my family, and I am proud to commit to the state of Utah and to the Mammoth.”
Following his 65-point season a year ago and sudden breakout performance to begin the new year (12 points in 11 games), this is a huge win for the Mammoth as they’ve locked up the primary piece of their future to a max extension at a great price.
Logan Cooley was unstoppable against the Blues in a breakout performance with his first Utah Hatty
After somewhat of an underwhelming performance through the first seven games of the season, 21-year-old forward Logan Cooley erupted in St. Louis, registering his first Utah hat-trick in less than five minutes of play.

In addition to being the first natural Hatty (three consecutive goals by one player) in Mammoth history, Cooley demonstrated his versatility by lighting the lamp in a collection of different ways.

Utah leads 4-0 following the initial frame in St. Louis.
We’re witnessing the true potential this team has.

Cooley needed this kind of a performance.
Amidst a big contract year with a rapidly increasing cap, 92 has elected to bet on himself and prove his worth even more.
However, before tonight, Cooley seemed a little rattled with the weight of that looming contract entirely on his back.
In desperate need of a breakout game, 92 not only found new life, but he completely shook the monkey off his back despite the Blues doing everything in their power to slow him down.
Notably, Cooley also registered his first Utah hat-trick in only six seconds of O-zone possession time.
That’s absurd.
Not only is that incredibly fast and explosive, but it’s also wildly efficient.
“He’s really strong physically,” Head coach Andre Tourigny said of Cooley. “He’s really strong in his battles. His balance is really, really good.”
“His competitiveness helps him a lot.”
Overall, tonight was a demonstration of what 92 is capable of and it’s awfully hard to deny the fact that he just might be worth north of $10M AAV.
Three goals in less than five minutes and an assist?
Not many 21-year-olds are posting those kinds of numbers.
As Cooley presses forward, he’ll need to use this as a building block as he’s clearly capable of being a point per game type of skater.
What’s next for the Utah Mammoth?
The Utah Mammoth will now return home for a one game home stand against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. MT.
The game will be available on Mammoth+.
