WORCESTER, Mass. – The Worcester Railers Hockey Club (@RailersHC), proud ECHL (@ECHL) affiliate of the New York Islanders (@NYIslanders), and Head Coach & General Manager Nick Tuzzolino, announced today that the club has re-signed forward Ryan Mahshie to an ECHL contract for the 2025-26 season.
Mahshie, 26, re-joins the Railers for his second professional season. The 6'3", 209 lb forward was first acquired by Worcester this past season in a trade with the Allen Americans which saw Colin Jacobs go to Allen in mid-December. In 43 games played with Worcester last season, Mahshie had seven points (3G, 4A) to go with 23 penalty minutes and a -8 rating. In 74 career ECHL games, Mahshie has nine points (5G, 4A) along with 29 penalty minutes.
"Ryan was a heart and soul player on this team last season," Tuzzolino said. "He took huge strides in just his first year as a rookie. We look forward to him developing his game even more this upcoming season."
Prior to his professional career, Mahshie played four seasons of collegiate hockey between Rensselaer Polytech. Institute and the University of Connecticut. During his time with RPI, Mahshie had 45 points (24G, 21A) in 85 games, along with 14 penalty minutes. The Stoney Creek, ON native had five points (2G, 3A) in 21 games at UConn to close his college career.
"I can't be more excited," Mahshie said. "I love the group we have there, and playing for [Tuzzolino] is awesome. I really can't wait to get back and be with the guys again and get going on the season."
The Railers have announced nine players officially signed for the 2025-26 season, as Mahshie joins Jake Stevens, Kolby Johnson, Ryan Dickinson, Cole Fraser, Cole Donhauser, Tyson Gilmour, Lincoln Hatten, and Anthony Repaci as the ninth signee of the season.
