In 33 games with Jacksonville, he registered two goals and six assists for eight points, while adding 25 penalty minutes and finishing with a -4 rating. He also appeared during the Icemen’s 2025 postseason run in four playoff games.
A Look at Duhart’s Pro Career
Duhart made his ECHL debut in 2024-25, starting the season with Bloomington, where he posted seven points (1G, 6A) in 31 games before being traded to the Kansas City Mavericks. In Kansas City, he scored his first ECHL goal, recording a single goal in two games, before joining Jacksonville for the remainder of the season.

What Duhart Brings to Jacksonville
Duhart’s return adds depth at center, along with versatility and experience from multiple leagues. He has proven he can contribute offensively at the college level and is now looking to build on his rookie ECHL season as he takes the next step in his pro career with Jacksonville.
