The Utah Mammoth are most of the way through their first-ever statewide ‘Mammoth Week.’
According to a press release from the team, from July 26 to August 2, members of the Utah Mammoth organization will visit seven cities — from Logan to St. George — to offer a series of engaging, team-hosted events including free street hockey clinics and affordable on-ice clinics where youth participants will learn skills like target shooting and stick handling so they can experience the fundamentals of the sport firsthand.
In addition, each stop offered or will offer community-friendly experiences such as a Utah Mammoth retail pop-up shop, team-branded giveaways, and immersive activities. Attendees also had opportunities to connect with surprise guests, including Mammoth players and team personnel. More information surrounding Mammoth Week, including clinic times and registration details, can be found here.
“From day one, our mission has been for children, families, and community members across all of Utah to have the opportunity to connect with the Utah Mammoth and experience the sport of hockey for themselves,” said Chris Armstrong, president of hockey operations for the Utah Mammoth.
“Mammoth Week is a huge step toward that goal – allowing us to bring the excitement, energy, and spirit of the Mammoth directly into communities throughout the state. Whether you’ve played hockey for years or are picking up a stick for the first time, there will be something for everyone.”
After already visiting Logan, Provo, Park City, Cottonwood Heights and Ogden, Mammoth Week continues Friday in Enoch at KJs Ice Barn from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday in St. George at the Red Rock Ball Facility from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
