The 2024–25 Utah Hockey Club season was the inaugural season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. They played their home games at the Delta Center, shared with the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
As part of a deal that rendered the Arizona Coyotes an inactive franchise, Utah was established with the existing roster, staff, and draft picks of the said franchise, in a similar move to the 1995 Cleveland Browns relocation controversy that established the Baltimore Ravens. For this season the team chose to use a generic Utah Hockey Club name until a permanent name was chosen.
With a win against the San Jose Sharks on December 14, 2024, the team became the first NHL expansion franchise to win six consecutive away games in their first year. They also broke the record for longest road win streak by an expansion franchise in its first season at seven consecutive games, passing the Minnesota North Stars' five-game road win streak in 1967–68.
They also equaled the Vegas Golden Knights by winning each of their first three games as a franchise, also an NHL record. Their 38 wins also was the second-most ever by an NHL expansion franchise, only behind Vegas with 51 in their inaugural season.
Despite these accomplishments, the team was eliminated from playoff contention on April 9, 2025, after the Minnesota Wild defeated the San Jose Sharks in overtime.
After the season, the team changed its name to the Utah Mammoth.
