“I’m excited to sign an eight-year extension with the Mammoth,” Cooley said. “The atmosphere at the Delta Center is unreal, and Ryan and Ashley Smith have given us every resource to succeed. This is an awesome day for me and my family.”

“Logan is elite in every sense of the word,” said team governor Ryan Smith. “His commitment shows what we’re building here in Utah — a place where players know they can win.”

General manager Bill Armstrong added that Cooley’s signing “cements the foundation of our young core.”

A 2022 third-overall pick by Arizona, Cooley has 121 points in 168 career games and continues to emerge as one of the NHL’s brightest young stars.
