Utah Mammoth Museum Quest
and Sweepstakes

When Utah's NHL team became the Utah Mammoth, many fans wondered what connection this Ice Age giant has with our state. The truth? Fossil evidence found around Utah proves that Columbian mammoths — the largest mammals of their time — once roamed this region during the Ice Age. The most famous of these – the Huntington Mammoth, is housed right here in the Prehistoric Museum! Today, you can find mammoth fossil displays and discovery sites from Price to Logan to Salt Lake City to St. George!

This hockey season, explore each of the destinations listed below on your own journey of Ice Age discovery as you cheer on the Utah Mammoth!
