Andrew Agozzino Announces Retirement From Professional Hockey

He is foregoing a reported Swiss contract to end a 14-year career that made him one of the AHL’s top scorers.

Overview

  • Agozzino announced his retirement via his personal Instagram account, a move reported by multiple outlets on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, that overrides earlier reports he had signed with EHC Biel-Bienne in Switzerland.
  • He finishes a 14-year pro career at age 35 after a final season with the Tucson Roadrunners, where he scored 19 goals and added 20 assists in 56 games.
  • Agozzino compiled 847 AHL games with 284 goals and 378 assists for 662 points, placing him among the league’s all-time leaders in games and goals.
  • His NHL experience was limited to 53 games across six franchises, yielding three goals and nine assists for 12 points.
  • Known for leadership and community work, he served as captain at junior and AHL levels, won the OHL’s Mickey Renaud Captain’s Trophy, and twice earned the AHL’s IOA/American Specialty Man of the Year award, leaving a hole in veteran leadership that could push him toward coaching or mentoring roles.
