The <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/utah-mammoth/line-combinations">Utah Mammoth</a> have elevated their hockey club on all fronts heading into their second season. In addition to playing their first year under a name, they unveiled a new state-of-the-art training and practice facility on Wednesday.&nbsp;



The 146,000-square-foot facility will serve as the team’s official headquarters, and the facilities will also cater to the surrounding communities, featuring two ice sheets, a team store, skate rentals, locker rooms, and concessions, all set to open in 2026.&nbsp;



The facilities will allow the team to focus on hockey, with management, coaches, players, and staff having access to every resource needed for training, practice, rehabilitation and injury prevention.&nbsp;



In addition to two ice sheets, the new spaces include an 8,802-square-foot dry gym, which has turf, robotic resistance systems which measure performance and adjust weight and squat racks with cameras to provide biomechanical analysis.&nbsp;<div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="140"></div>



The medical side of the facility has treatment rooms, aquatic therapy, a recovery suite, a sauna and a steam room, helping players bounce back and recover amid the gruelling NHL season.&nbsp;



In total, there are 40 dedicated player-focused spaces, which will enable players to develop individually and as a team through communal areas, such as meal rooms and lounges.&nbsp;



“This is spectacular,” General Manager Bill Armstrong <a href="https://www.nhl.com/utah/news/utah-is-home-with-new-practice-and-training-facility-feature-9-17-25">said</a>. “It’s a state-of-the-art facility, I believe it could be the best facility in the National Hockey League. The impact that this will have on our franchise is massive. It will give us a chance to become an elite NHL franchise. I also think it has a huge impact on the community. These two new rinks built in Utah are huge for this community to grow hockey here in Utah.”<div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="136"></div>



With the new facilities ready to go, the Mammoth hopes it can lead them to greater heights in their second season in the market, as they wish to improve on a sixth-place finish in the Central Division and make the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in Utah.&nbsp;



“I walked in today and right away I thought about a few months ago when we all came through here, we signed the beam, we saw all the construction, and we basically saw bare bones,” Utah defenseman Sean Durzi <a href="https://www.nhl.com/utah/news/utah-is-home-with-new-practice-and-training-facility-feature-9-17-25">added</a>.



“Now to see the progress, where we’re at, and how much has gone into this was special. It shows the commitment to us, commitment to the state of Utah and gives us everything we need to take the next step.”
