Mackie Samoskevich's story
Growing up in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, Mackie Samoskevich learned the game in a hockey-minded setting and moved steadily up the development ladder. His tenure with the Chicago Steel in 2020–21 made that progress visible: he produced 13 goals and 24 assists in 36 regular-season games and then added one goal and nine assists in eight playoff contests as the club captured its postseason objectives.
Samoskevich took the collegiate route at the University of Michigan for 2021–22. As a freshman he registered 26 points (9 goals, 17 assists) and earned a spot on the All-Big Ten Freshman Team. He built on that foundation in his sophomore year, finishing with 19 goals and 40 points in 35 games and being named to the All-Big Ten Second Team. His two seasons in Ann Arbor closed with a total of 30 goals and 42 assists over 79 games.
Selected 24th overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Samoskevich began his pro career with a PTO in the AHL with the Charlotte Checkers in April 2023 before inking a three-year entry-level deal with Florida in May. After brief NHL appearances early in the 2023–24 campaign, he returned to Charlotte for more seasoning. Milestones in the NHL followed in October 2024: his first NHL point, an assist, came on October 17 in a 3–2 loss to Vancouver, and his first NHL goal arrived on October 26, a tying goal in a 6–3 comeback win over the New York Islanders.
Contract and roster moves continued to shape his path: he signed a one-year extension with Florida on July 10, 2025, and was later traded to the Seattle Kraken on June 21, 2026, in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick and a conditional 2027 second-round pick. A career highlight remains winning the Stanley Cup with Florida in 2025; during his day with the Cup he visited the Sandy Hook Memorial to honour his hometown.
Internationally, Samoskevich represented the United States at the 2019 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, recording one goal in four games. On-ice he is known for his puck skills and playmaking instincts, the traits that propelled him through junior and college hockey and into the NHL ranks.
