July 2024 – Mancini, signed in April to a two-year entry-level contract, appeared in seven regular season games at the end of this past season with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL and 10 playoff games. He registered three assists in his seven regular season games and three more assists in the playoffs. Previously, Mancini completed two seasons of NCAA hockey with the University of Nebraska-Omaha. The defenseman already possesses an NHL frame, at 6-3 and 215 pounds. The Rangers organization is clearly impressed with the righty, and it looks like they will provide him with a big role in his first full season of AHL hockey in 2024-25, allowing him to showcase his game and establish himself as the top call-up option on the right side of the defense. The 2024 first-round pick, EJ Emery, is still a couple of years away and does not factor into the equation yet. Brendan Ferry
July 2023 – Mancini wrapped up his second season with the University of Nebraska-Omaha in 2022-23, picking up eight points (all assists) in 32 games played. The well-traveled rearguard, having played parts of two seasons with Frolunda’s J18 & J20 teams in Sweden, is now settled into his collegiate career. Mancini, who has also played in the USHL and the USNTDP, will be looking for a big year to leave a strong impression on the Rangers’ scouts and staff. Brendan Ferry
August 2022 – Another Michigan native, like 2022 fourth round pick Noah Laba, Mancini was drafted in the fifth round by the New York Rangers in the 2022 NHL draft as an “overage” player. Mancini will be playing for the University of Nebraska Omaha Mavericks during the 2022-2023 campaign, after spending the past few seasons in two countries, in Sweden’s J18 and J20 leagues, as well as the USHL and the NCAA. He certainly is a well-traveled player. In 2021-2022, Mancini posted five assists in 38 games played for the Mavericks. Mancini is property of the Rangers until the summer of 2025. He will need to develop well over these next few seasons in order to work his way up a crowded depth chart in New York. Brendan Ferry
