We’ve officially entered the month where hockey returns, which means we are less than 20 days away from the start of the 2025-26 NHL pre-season and training camp. Before that, though, there are a few other things that happen in preparation for the new season.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at what September will look like for the Utah Mammoth.
