A Storied Playing Career

Though his NHL tenure comprised just 53 games and 12 points, the native of the United States saw action with storied franchises such as the San Jose Sharks, Ottawa Senators, Anaheim Ducks, Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche, rounding out a 15‑year odyssey that began with eight full NHL campaigns.
A Return to the Utah Ecosystem
Now, the former forward is slated to join the Utah Mammoth organization as an assistant coach for the AHL’s Tucson Roadrunners, a move that leverages his deep familiarity with the club after two seasons as an alternate captain and his recent on‑ice contributions in two games during the 2025‑26 season.
His appointment underscores a commitment to mentorship, as Agozzino will now channel his extensive experience into shaping the next generation of talent, blending on‑ice insight with a leadership style honed over more than a decade of elite competition.
The transition from player to coach reflects a broader trend of former athletes embracing mentorship roles, and Agozzino’s seamless shift suggests a promising future for the Roadrunners’ developmental pipeline.
