Mammoth Victorious in Battle of Alberta

By Melissa Dafni

While the term Battle of Alberta is usually reserved for when Edmonton and Calgary face off, the past few seasons, the Mammoth have had their own Battle of Alberta facing off against both Edmonton and Calgary in back to back games.

By Melissa Dafni

In what could be viewed as a potential playoff match-up, the Colorado Mammoth and Minnesota Swarm closed out the regular season at Xcel Energy Center.   Despite the Swarm really being the only team still with something to play for, (second place in the Western Division and a home playoff game), play for most of the [...]
