mammoth hockey
Definition
Refers to the high-octane ice hockey played by the Utah Mammoth, a professional NHL team based in Salt Lake City, Utah—formerly the Arizona Coyotes, now stomping the league like prehistoric beasts since their 2024 relocation.
Colloquially, an epic, larger-than-life hockey game or spectacle so massive it rivals the scale of a woolly mammoth on skates.
