ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Solar Bears, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Tampa Bay Lightning, announced defenseman Jimmy Mazza has agreed to terms on a contract, re-signing for the 2024-25 season. 

Mazza returns for his third season with the Solar Bears in 2024 after recording career-highs in goals, assists, points and penalty minutes during the 2023-24 campaign. Orlando acquired the Kings Park, New York native in a future considerations trade with the Adirondack Thunder in the summer of 2022.

The 30-year-old has appeared in 231 ECHL games over five professional seasons with Orlando, Adirondack and Reading, scoring 48 points (12g-36a).   

Mazza earned career-highs in all three scoring categories this past season for Orlando, scoring seven goals and 17 assists for 24 points. Mazza also picked up a career-high 127 penalty minutes during the 2023-24 season.  

Prior to turning pro, Mazza skated in 141 career games at Canisius College, amassing 68 points (18g-50a). Mazza helped Canisius capture the Atlantic Hockey Association regular-season conference title in 2016-17.

Mazza played junior hockey with the United States Premier Hockey League’s P.A.L. Junior Islanders, winning the league’s Defenseman of the Year award in 2014-15. He also skated one season with the Youngstown Phantoms of the United States Hockey League, where he recorded 10 points (2g-8a) in 58 games.
