The Utah Mammoth head into the season with a new feeling.

The organization feels more settled.

And, maybe more importantly, Salt Lake City has started to feel like home. Even if it took a while.

Just ask Mammoth president Chris Armstrong.

“This year I feel is the first time we’ve had our legs under us,” Armstrong said Wednesday at Mammoth media day. “We are settled at home. We have all the resources we need to be successful. We have the best owner in sports. We have the best ownership in sports.

“We have as passionate a fanbase as you can find anywhere. We have the best team that we’ve assembled on and off the ice.”

The Mammoth have roster continuity coming off their first trip to the NHL playoffs last spring, returning key players including Clayton Keller, Dylan Guenther and Logan Cooley. But the roster underwent its share of changes, too. Utah signed former New York Islanders captain Anders Lee and traded for former New York Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck, among other moves.

But the most noticeable changes? Those happened inside their home arena.

The Delta Center underwent another round of renovations this summer. The biggest improvement this time? The sightlines on one side of the upper bowl. “Terrace-style ledges” and gondolas have addressed the obstructed sightlines, giving fans a view of both goals. The other side of the upper bowl will be renovated next offseason, completing the yearslong project.

“It’s pretty exciting,” Armstrong said. “We were in there last week just touring around. It’s incredible. Credit to Okland Construction, all of the workers there. … It’s an incredible undertaking. I think I read that 700 tons of steel have been introduced to the facility this year.

“Spectacular sightlines, brand new premium club, gondolas in the upper reaches of the building that provide great opportunity, more access for us. So, really excited to see it all put back together and the dust removed and ready to go.”

Fans will get their first peek at the new upper bowl when the Mammoth play Colorado in a preseason game on Sept. 26. It will be the first time Mammoth head coach André Tourigny will see the renovations, too.

“No, I could, but it’s not my style,” he said. “I will see it when (we) start.”

For Armstrong, the renovations are just one piece of something bigger.

Armstrong pointed to the level of investment that fans have put into the team and the pride the fan base has overall. He said it’s been special to see how much hockey has grown in Utah.

The Mammoth have launched several programs aimed at growing the game in the state, with an emphasis on youth hockey.

“It’s really been humbling for us to see the level of enthusiasm and passion from the moment this team arrived in Utah and NHL hockey was born in Utah,” Armstrong said. “It’s been amazing, through the efforts of a lot of people across the organization, to see the growth of youth and amateur hockey, in particular girls’ hockey.

“I can’t overstate the value of having a facility for all those things and a home base where people can connect tangibly with the brand of the Utah Mammoth and be inspired by their heroes on the ice.”
