Mark Mazzoleni is an American ice hockey coach. He was the head coach of the Wisconsin–Stevens Point Pointers from 1985 thru the end of the 1991, winning 3 consecutive Division III National Titles.[1] After 1991 he took a position as an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota for three seasons before he got the opportunity to be the head coach of a Division I school.[2] Mazzoleni stepped into the Miami job after George Gwozdecky left and while he had success with the team (3 winning seasons in 5 years), he could not sustain the high level of success his predecessor had achieved.[3] He was able to parlay his experience at Miami into a second head coaching job, this time at Harvard, replacing the embattled Ronn Tomassoni[4] who had not led the Crimson to a winning season in 5 years.[5] After a one-season hangover Mazzoleni returned Harvard to ECAC prominence, winning the conference tournament in both 2002 and 2004 while finishing as the runner-up in 2003.

Similar to what he had done with Wisconsin–Stevens Point, after three successful seasons Mazzoleni left Cambridge, Massachusetts to take over as head coach of the Green Bay Gamblers, a USHL team based in his hometown, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Mazzoleni seemed to be working the same magic he had at Harvard and Wisconsin–Stevens Point when the Gamblers made the playoffs in his second season, their first appearance in 4 years, but after another moderately successful campaign Green Bay took a sharp dip in the standings, finishing the 2007–08 season dead last with a 13–41–6 record and his tenure as coach was terminated.[6][7] Mazzoleni did not remain idle for long, however, as he was announced as an assistant coach for St. Norbert College in October 2009, joining the staff of Tim Coghlin who had been part of Mazzoleni's first recruiting class as a head coach.[8] As of 2014 he still holds that position.
