Mangseth was born in Taconite, Minnesota and grew up and played youth hockey in Coleraine, where he went on to play high school hockey at Greenway High School.  He began his coaching career at Northland Pines High School where he led the Eagles to four consolation titles in the WIAA State Hockey Tournament.  His team was awarded the 1974 WIAA Sportsmanship Trophy at the state tournament.  In 1975, Mangseth was voted Coach of the Year in the North Central High School Conference while his Eagles brought home the conference championship in that season.
