SALT LAKE CITY — With a new team and a new identity comes a new face. The Utah Mammoth officially unveiled its mascot, Tusky.
He’ll join the Jazz Bear, Cosmo, Swoop, and Leonardo the Lion in Utah’s lineup of team mascots in 2025.

In their inaugural NHL season, Utah’s team played as the Utah Hockey Club while determining its long-term identity. During that first year, the Jazz Bear filled in as the team’s temporary mascot.
After fans and the franchise decided on the Mammoth name, new logos, sweaters, rally cries, and now a mascot have joined the fold.
The Mammoth stands at 6-foot-5, and uses almost all of the colors found in the team’s logos.

In a press release on the unveiling of the new mascot, team owners Ryan and Ashley Smith explained the thought process behind Tusky.
“We named the Utah Mammoth mascot Tusky to lean into our team’s ‘Tusks Up’ rallying cry. 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.”
His first appearance came in a way that will be long remembered by Utah sports fans.
Before the home opener against the Calgary Flames, Tusky exploded out of a block of ice, animating the Delta Center crowd.
And of course, Tusky has his own social media accounts for fans looking to get more mascot content. He can be found @TuskyNHL on Instagram, X, and TikTok.
