JACKSONVILLE, FL – The Jacksonville Icemen, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild and the AHL’s Iowa Wild, announced today that the team has agreed to terms with forward T.J. Friedmann for the 2026-27 season.
Friedmann, 28, returns to Jacksonville following his best statistical season in the ECHL, where he garnered 14 goals and 10 assists (24 points) with both the Adirondack Thunder and the Icemen. Fourteen of Friedmann’s points last season came with Jacksonville after he was traded to the Icemen on January 20. Friedmann had been a member of the Thunder since the 2023-24 season.
Now entering his fourth full season in the ECHL, the 6-3, 190-pound forward brings plenty of upside to the Icemen forward group. In addition to Jacksonville and Adirondack, the St. Louis, Missouri native played in five games with the Utica Comets of the AHL, garnering a goal and one assist. Before starting his professional career, Friedmann played NCAA Division I college hockey with Quinnipiac University and was a member of the Bobcats’ national championship team in 2023. He garnered 58 points (28 goals, 30 assists) over his four-year collegiate career.
