The Utah Mammoth announced today that they have acquired forward Vincent Trocheck from the New York Rangers in exchange for defenseman Sean Durzi, forward Cole Beaudoin, and the earliest of Utah’s 2027 third-round draft choices. Trocheck is signed with Utah through 2028-29.
“We are proud to welcome Vincent and his wife Hillary to the Utah Mammoth organization,” said Chris Armstrong, president of hockey operations for the Utah Mammoth. “Vincent is a winner and a proven leader, and he is certain to have a big impact on our group.
“We would also like to thank Sean and Cole for their commitment to the organization. Sean will always hold a special place in Utah as an original member of this organization and for the way he laid it on the line for us every night. Cole has a bright future ahead of him, and it is only a matter of time before he makes his mark in the NHL.”
“Vincent plays a reliable two-way game and is an Olympic gold medalist,” said Bill Armstrong, general manager of the Utah Mammoth. “He’s dynamic on the penalty-kill and elite in the face-off circle. Vincent’s leadership will be critical in helping our team to take the next steps towards building a contender.”
