The new mascot was revealed to fans before the team\u2019s home opener on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Tusky, the new mascot of the Utah Mammoth, is introduced in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025.<\/p>\n
At the franchise\u2019s first home game as the Utah Mammoth, there was a new presence in the crowd riling up the fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cTusky,\u201d a 6-foot-5 mammoth mascot with light-blue fur, a dark-blue mohawk, and two white tusks, broke out of a faux ice block in the middle of the rink before the team\u2019s home opener against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe named the Utah Mammoth mascot Tusky to lean into our team\u2019s \u2018Tusks Up\u2019 rallying cry,\u201d Mammoth owners Ryan and Ashley Smith said in a statement. \u201cTusky 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 \u2013 from Mammoth games and team events to community gatherings, schools, and hospitals. We are excited for fans to get to know Tusky this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
In its inaugural season, and perhaps fitting with the generic Utah Hockey Club name, the Utah Jazz Bear was the team\u2019s mascot \u2014 though at hockey games, he was called the \u201cHockey Bear.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, though, Utah\u2019s NHL team has a mascot of its own.<\/p>\n
The team also revealed a new four-note goal horn, which sounded similar to a train\u2019s horn.<\/p>\n
Mammoth fans heard it three times on Wednesday, as Barrett Hayton, JJ Peterka and Kevin Stenlund all scored in a 3-1 victory over the Flames.<\/p>\n
