Utah Mammoth Ice Center to open in late February with various programming
Now known as the Utah Mammoth Ice Center, the facility will host a collection of skating and hockey programs, offer ice time to local teams and leagues, and supply space for recreational skating, meetings and gatherings.
“This facility was built to be a resource for the community as much as it is for our team,” Chris Barney, president of revenue and commercial strategy at SEG said. “In addition to bringing two new NHL-standard regulation ice rinks into Utah’s hockey landscape, this is a place where fans can engage with the team and the community can learn the game of hockey, grow their skills, and form connections that extend beyond the rink.
“This is an investment in the future of hockey in Utah, and we’re extremely excited to give the next generation a place to fall in love with the game.”
The following is a list of programming that will be available to the public beginning February 23:
Recreational Skating: Available Friday through Sunday, community members can access the facility for public open skate sessions for just $12.
On-site skate and skate-assist rentals will be available for purchase inside the building lobby.
Introductory Skating: Learn to Skate, which will begin March 16 and take place Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings, is a 7-week instructional program designed to introduce participants of all ages to the fundamentals of skating, including balance, stopping, forward and backward skating, turns, and more.
The facility will also offer freestyle sessions and stick and puck ice time, providing additional opportunities for independent practice, creativity, and skill development outside of structured classes.
Youth Hockey Development Pathway: From Learn to Play and Continue to Play programs to Rookie Leagues, skill clinics, and seasonal camps, the facility will offer a variety of structured progression programs to help young athletes advance their hockey skills.
Girls- and women-only options are available across multiple offerings.
As part of the NHL and NHLPA development initiatives, these programs help welcome families into the sport and inspire the next generation of hockey players.
Adult Hockey: Adult players can join the Utah Mammoth recreational league, which includes a 16-week season with structured weekly games and dedicated divisions.
Teams will play nightly Sunday through Thursday, providing players 18+ with the environment to grow their game. Players interested in participating can register individually, find a team, or sign up an existing team for league play here
