Hockey club "Ugra" is a professional ice hockey team based in Khanty-Mansiysk, Yugra, Russia. In 2010, Yugra was granted admission in the Kontinental Hockey League. On November 12, 2010, by interactive voting, a mammoth was chosen as the mascot for Ugra, painted in club colors. The remains of these animals in large numbers are founded in permafrost of the Yugra region. Moreover, the word mammoth (Russian мамонт/mamont) comes from local aboriginal Mansi language, where magynt means "earth-horn".
