Utah Mammoth Bolsters Roster with Acquisition of Goaltender Sebastian Cossa
The Utah Mammoth made a significant move by acquiring goaltender Sebastian Cossa from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for the No. 23 pick in the upcoming draft. Detroit used the 23rd overall pick to select JP Hurlbert from the Kamloops Blazers. Cossa, a standout in the American Hockey League, had an impressive season with the Grand Rapids Griffins, posting a 26-8-4 record with a 2.33 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. Standing at 6-foot-7, Cossa was originally drafted by the Red Wings in 2021 and made his NHL debut in a shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres in 2024.
Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, Cossa also represented Canada at the 2022 World Juniors, where he helped his team secure a gold medal. This trade brings a promising young goaltender to the Utah Mammoth, adding depth and talent to their roster. The team's acquisition of Cossa demonstrates their commitment to building a competitive and successful team for the upcoming season.
