Vincent Trocheck's first interview as a Utah Mammoth | Scotty G. & The Coach on 97.5 KSL Sports Zone
The two-time NHL All-Star and 2026 Olympic gold medalist talks about what drew him to Salt Lake City, touring the Delta Center Mammoth practice facilities, his relationship with Logan Cooley, and what separates championship locker rooms from the rest.
Trocheck was acquired from the New York Rangers on July 1, 2026, in exchange for Sean Durzi, Cole Beaudoin, and a 2027 third-round pick. He's signed through 2028–29 and brings 631 career NHL points, elite faceoff ability, and two-way versatility to a Mammoth team looking to take the next step.
