Mashinter began his coaching career with the Icemen in 2021, spending the past three seasons in Jacksonville as the team’s assistant coach under former Head Coach Nick Luukko, who recently accepted a position with the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this past Saturday. The Icemen finished with 40 or more wins in each of the past three seasons under the leadership of Luukko and Mashinter.
“First and foremost, I would like to congratulate Nick Luukko on his deserving accomplishment and move up to the AHL,” said Mashinter. “I am excited and honored to continue to build on the foundation and culture that we started to build three years ago. I would like to express thanks to Andy Kaufmann, Scott Einhorn and Joe Ernst for the opportunity to be the next head coach of the Jacksonville Icemen.”
Prior to coaching, Mashinter completed an impressive playing career at a high-level from 2009-2021. Mashinter competed in 64 NHL contests in stints with the San Jose Sharks, New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks. The Newmarket, Ontario resident compiled 261 points in 535 American Hockey League (AHL) games split between the Worcester Sharks, Hartford Wolfpack, Rockford Ice Hogs and San Jose Barracuda. He also played two seasons in Germany’s top league (DEL) with ERC Ingolstadt. Prior to his professional career, Mashinter won an Ontario Hockey League championship with the Kitchener Rangers in 2008.
