The Utah Royals just got their second win of the season five games into 2026.

For comparison, it took 13 games in 2024 and 18 in 2025 to reach two wins.

Progress.

Well folks, the time has come. After an amazing 3.5 years at KSL.com I was told this morning my position is being eliminated. But on the plus side, I finally get to fulfill my dream of spending way too much time on LinkedIn!

Open to any and all moves going forward

Nick Schmaltz is Utah Mammoth MVP 1 month into season With a big enough sample size to move beyond the

Sunday marked the official one-month mark of the NHL season for the Utah Mammoth.

With a big enough sample size to move beyond the "still too early" naysayers, it is safe to say the story of the season so far for the Mammoth is 29-year-old forward Nick Schmaltz.

Midfielder Dana Foederer is also leaving Utah in 2026 and looking to return to Europe.

Utah Royals defender Madison Pogarch is heading into free agency and will likely not be returning to the Royals.

“I've obviously loved my time here. It's just not looking that way at the time. So I feel closer to closing the chapter than anything.”

End of season presser with Jimmy Coenraets and Kelly Cousins, who was just extended as Utah Royals’ sporting director.

The team instituted a new “Royals Way” mission statement in June that both feel helped the team to a 5-3-5 finish to 2025.

We just heard a huge applause from the Royals locker room and I’m pretty sure it was for this lol. Well deserved for Mina!

Current and former Utah Mammoth players alike called Clayton Keller the most underrated player in the NHL in recent days.

He backed up the praise with an overtime game winner in a victory on the road against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, moving Utah to 9-4 on the season and 3-0 in overtime games.
