The Utah Mammoth have signed center Logan Cooley to an eight-year, $80 million contract extension.

Cooley, 21, has picked up eight goals and four assists for 12 points in 11 games with the Mammoth to start the season.

As first reported by TFP’s David Pagnotta, the Mammoth and Cooley originally agreed to terms on the deal earlier this week and finalized the agreement Tuesday night before making the deal officially Wednesday morning.

“I’m excited to sign an eight-year extension with the Mammoth. Choosing to play with this group of teammates was the easiest part of this decision, and living in Utah has been amazing since day one,” Cooley said. “The atmosphere at the Delta Center in front of our fans is unreal and Ryan and Ashley Smith have given our team every resource to succeed, which is all you can ask for as a player. We have an opportunity to do something special here thanks to the incredible people in the organization. This is an awesome day for me and my family, and I am proud to commit to the state of Utah and to the Mammoth.”

Among players aged 23 or younger, Cooley ranks first in the NHL in goals and tied for third in points. He was named the NHL’s Second Star of the Week on Oct. 27.

“Logan is elite in every sense of the word,” said Ryan Smith, Governor of the Mammoth. “He’s one of the most exciting young players in the league, and the fact that he’s chosen to plant roots here in Utah says everything about what we’re building. He is part of an incredible core of young players that will have a major impact on the future of this franchise. Utah is a place where the community shows up, where the energy is through the roof, and where players know they can win. Logan choosing to put his roots down here and commit for the long-term is another important milestone in building a championship-caliber team.”

Cooley has skated in 168 career NHL games with Utah and the Arizona Coyotes over the past three seasons, recording 53 goals and 68 assists for 121 points and 68 penalty minutes, to date.

“We are thrilled to sign Logan and have him with us in Utah for the next eight years,” said Mammoth GM Bill Armstrong. “Logan is not only an incredible player but an even better person and we look forward to watching him grow. He, along with the rest of our core group, will have an impact in Utah for many years to come. It’s a great day for Mammoth fans and another exciting moment for our organization.”

Cooley was originally selected third-overall by Arizona in the 2022 NHL Draft.
