Utah Mammoth Unveil Tusky Mascot at Home Opener

The rollout anchors a fan-driven rebrand focused on community outreach and dedicated social channels.

Overview

  • Tusky was introduced at the Delta Center as the team’s official mascot, with owners Ryan and Ashley Smith positioning him as a visible community ambassador at games, events, schools and hospitals.
  • Tusky is a 6-foot-5 Mountain Blue mammoth with a dark-blue mohawk, Salt White tusks and jersey No. 00, with appearances planned at the new practice facility in Sandy.
  • The team describes Tusky’s personality as mischievous and a prankster who will skate before most home games and “shoots left.”
  • Fans are invited to follow Tusky for exclusive content on Instagram, TikTok and X, reinforcing the team’s push to build its identity across social platforms.
  • The in-arena debut drew loud applause, and OutKick reported the Mammoth won the opener against the Flames 3–1 with Tusky on hand, as local superfans who coined “Tusks Up” were credited for shaping the Mammoth identity.
