The Utah Mammoth secured their coaching future by signing head coach André Tourigny and assistant Blaine Forsythe to multiyear extensions. General manager Bill Armstrong emphasized their instrumental role in building the organization's foundation. Tourigny took over in Arizona back in 2021 and led the team through their relocation to Utah.

Adam Foote joins as assistant coach after his dismissal from the Vancouver Canucks on May 19. The two-time Stanley Cup champion brings extensive experience, having coached the Kelowna Rockets before his NHL head coaching stint. Armstrong praised Foote's playing credentials and coaching background as valuable additions to the staff.

Under Tourigny's leadership last season, Utah posted a 43-33-6 record and reached the playoffs in just their second year since relocating. Tourigny credited the team's culture and collective commitment for their success. The coaching continuity suggests stability as the franchise establishes itself in Salt Lake City.

These moves signal the Mammoth's commitment to building on their playoff appearance rather than rebuilding. Keeping the core coaching staff intact while adding Foote's experience gives them a solid foundation heading into next season.
