Utah Mammoth Recall forward Ben McCartney

TUCSON, AZ – The Utah Mammoth announced today that forward Ben McCartney has been recalled from the Tucson Roadrunners, Utah’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. This marks McCartney’s first call-up of the season, making him the second Roadrunner recalled to the NHL this season and the first forward.

McCartney, 25, is serving as an assistant captain for the fourth consecutive season and has recorded a team-high 14 points (4g, 10a), a plus-10 rating and six penalty minutes (PIM) in 11 AHL games with Tucson this season. He ranks tied for third in the AHL in points while also leading the Roadrunners in assists and plus-minus.

The 6-foot-0, 195-pound forward has tallied 175 points (73g, 102a), 361 PIM and a franchise-record six shorthanded goals in 285 career AHL games over parts of seven seasons with Tucson. He has also recorded four points (2g, 2a) in seven career Calder Cup Playoff games.

The Macdonald, Manitoba, native set career highs across the board last season, recording 21 goals, 30 assists and 51 points in 59 AHL games in 2025-26.

McCartney has appeared in two NHL games with the Arizona Coyotes during the 2021-22 season, recording four PIM and averaging 14:03 of time on ice.

The Roadrunners return home to open a four-game homestand with back-to-back matchups against the Coachella Valley Firebirds on Friday and Saturday. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m. MST and will be broadcast live on AHLtv on FloHockey.
