Adirondack Phantoms News Release


The Adirondack Phantoms have announced that University of Maine product Matt Mangene will join the team for the remainder of the 2011-12 season. Mangene signed an entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers and comes to Glens Falls on an amateur tryout agreement (ATO).

The Manorville, NY native (on Long Island) completed his third season with the Black Bears and posted impressive numbers including 16 goals and 34 points in 40 games with 58 penalty minutes. It was a big breakout year for Mangene who only had four goals in his previous two years combined.

The righty shooter has played both defenseman and forward at Maine. The 23-year-old (3/12/1989) is 5'11" and 190 pounds. He joined the Flyers following the culmination of his junior season at Maine. The Black Bears season ended last week when they fell to Minnesota-Duluth in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

Matt's grandfather, Robert "Red" Mangene, was a star halfback for the Boston College Golden Eagles and helped lead them to an Orange Bowl title in 1943 against Alabama. His sister, Meagan, has been to a couple of Frozen Fours with Boston College.
