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.^[2]^[3]

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.^{[citation needed]} 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.^{[citation needed]}

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.^{[citation needed]}

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.^[4]

After the season, the team changed its name to the Utah Mammoth.^[3]
