The Utah Mammoth have completed a move that adds a seasoned defenseman to their blue line, announcing the signing of Andrew Peeke to a one‑year agreement.
Contract Details
The agreement carries an average annual value of $1 million and secures the 28‑year‑old for the upcoming season, providing the franchise with a modest yet proven contract.
NHL Performance
In his most recent NHL season with the Boston Bruins, Peeke recorded 14 points across 77 games, a performance that reflects his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively.
Physical Profile and Playing Style
Standing 6‑foot‑3 and weighing 214 pounds, the blue‑liner is praised for his size, positional discipline and a willingness to join the rush when the opportunity arises.
International Experience
Peeke has represented Team USA at two IIHF World Championships, most recently helping the side capture a gold medal in 2025, and he also earned a bronze medal at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Draft and Collegiate Roots
The defenseman was selected in the second round of the 2016 NHL Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets and spent his college years at the University of Notre Dame, where he captained the team and led them to back‑to‑back Big Ten championships.
AHL Experience
Before establishing himself in the NHL, Peeke honed his craft with the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League, where he was recognized for steady, reliable play.
Roster Implications
General manager Bill Armstrong emphasized the player’s “defensive reliability and offensive upside,” noting that Peeke’s addition strengthens a blue line that already features Clayton Keller and rising forward Logan Cooley, while veteran Kevin Stenlund will also benefit from the depth.
