"Before he'd even entered a legit NHL game, Logan Cooley made an exciting first impression on me. Playing a 2023 preseason contest in Melbourne for a team called the "Arizona Coyotes" (I guess that's some sort of Australian thing), Cooley flew into the attacking zone with three defenders to beat. The first two he eliminated with a nifty spin move, and the third he just weaved around like a commuter hustling to his train at rush hour."
"Now in his third year as an NHL player, Cooley is currently the top scorer on an intriguing Utah Mammoth squad that's aiming to give Salt Lake City its first taste of playoff hockey. Monday night's outing was a particularly nice home win for him and his boys, as the Mammoth went toe to toe with the Vegas Golden Knights and won 5-1, with Cooley scoring four goals."
Logan Cooley displayed exceptional speed and skill early, beating three defenders with a spin move and lateral weave to score in a preseason game. Drafted third overall from the University of Minnesota in 2022, Cooley scored 20 goals as a 19-year-old rookie and improved by five goals and 16 assists in his second season, finishing second in team points. In his third NHL year he leads the Utah Mammoth offensively. In a 5-1 home victory over the Vegas Golden Knights he had four goals, added an assist, and produced a high-speed breakaway highlight while goalie Karel Vejmelka preserved the win.
