Joshua Mahura (born May 5, 1998) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently playing for the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League (NHL). [1]
Mahura began his major junior hockey career with the Red Deer Rebels, who had drafted him in the second round, 36th overall, in the 2013 WHL Draft. [2]
In his second year with the Rebels, and his first year as a draft eligible player, Mahura tore his MCL and missed the entire regular season to recover. He returned in May to play in the Memorial Cup. [3] Mahura was drafted in the third round, 85th overall by the Ducks in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
On January 10, 2017, Mahura was traded by the Rebels mid-season to the Regina Pats along with Jeff de Wit and a conditional third round pick in 2019 in exchange for Lane Zablocki, Dawson Barteaux, a first round pick in 2017, a first rounder in either 2018 or 2019, and a conditional third rounder in 2020. At the time of the trade, Mahura had collected nine goals and 24 assists in 39 games. [4] He was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks on May 18, 2017. [5] The following season, Mahura was named an alternate captain for the Pats, alongside Jake Leschyshyn and Matt Bradley. [6]
During his first professional season in 2018–19, Mahura was recalled to the Ducks from AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls, on November 18, 2018 after injuries to Cam Fowler and Hampus Lindholm. [7] He made his NHL debut that night against the Colorado Avalanche, recording a plus 2 and six blocks. Mahura was one of four rookie defencemen to play that night. The Ducks had not played four rookie defencemen in one game since May 3, 1995. [8]
Prior to the 2022–23 season, on October 10, 2022, Mahura was claimed off waivers by the Florida Panthers. [9]
Mahura's brother Luke also plays hockey. He played in the WHL for the Prince Albert Raiders and currently plays for the Morinville Kings of the North Central Senior Hockey League. [10]
