The Colorado Mammoth are a lacrosse team based in Denver, Colorado playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2013 season was the 27th in franchise history and 11th as the Mammoth (previously the Washington Power, Pittsburgh Crossefire, and Baltimore Thunder).

The Mammoth survived a 2-7 start to the season, finishing strong and ending up at 7-9, good for 4th place in the West. But for the third straight year, they were ousted in the first round of the playoffs, this time by the Calgary Roughnecks, 15-10.[1]
