Playing career

Mangiapane would go undrafted in the OHL Priority Draft after the 2012-13 Greater Toronto Hockey League season with Toronto Jr. Canadiens U-18 AAA where he scored 14 goals and 22 assists in 32 games, and subsequently signed with the Barrie Colts as a free agent.[1] In his first year with the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)'s Barrie Colts, Mangiapane's outstanding play was rewarded when he was named to the 2013–14 OHL First All-Rookie Team. Despite Mangiapane's success,[2] he would go unranked by NHL Central Scouting Bureau and go undrafted in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.[1] During the 2014–15 season, Mangiapane reached 100 points, scoring 43 goals and 104 points in 68 games played.[3] The following season, he was named an alternative captain for the Colts.[4]

On March 23, 2016, Mangiapane was signed to an entry-level contract by the Calgary Flames, the organization which drafted him in the sixth round, 166th overall, in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.[5] Prior to the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Mangiapane was listed as the 85th ranked North American skater by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau.[6]

After attending the Flames' training camp ahead of the 2017–18 season, Mangiapane was reassigned to the club's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Stockton Heat, to begin the 2017–18 season.[7] Recalled by the flames, he made his NHL debut on January 31, 2017, in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks.[8] He was reassigned to the Heat on January 15, 2018, after playing seven games with Calgary.[9]

Mangiapane began the 2018–19 season in the AHL for Stockton. On November 30, 2018, he was called up by Calgary after recording 14 points in 13 games with the Heat.[10] Although he was reassigned to the AHL on December 16,[11] he was recalled a few days later after the Flames' Michael Frolík was placed on injured reserve.[12] On January 13, 2019, Mangiapane earned his first NHL point in a 7–1 win over the Arizona Coyotes, assisting on captain Mark Giordano's first-period goal.[13]
