“On behalf of our organization, we would like to thank Brandon Mashinter for all of his hard work in helping to elevate our team to a high level these past three and half years,” said Icemen CEO Andy Kaufmann. “We will always be grateful for Brandon’s contributions to our team and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. We are very excited to have Sean Teakle take the leadership reins and help guide our team to the playoffs and continue to field a team that will make Jacksonville proud.”
In the interim, the team has promoted assistant coach Sean Teakle to serve as the interim head coach. The Ontario native joined the Icemen this past summer as an assistant coach after spending the last decade working in various roles within the Ontario Hockey League.
The Icemen are currently tied for second place in the ECHL South Division.
