Fan favourite David Broll will be icing for the Coventry blaze again 2021/22, the team revealed on Monday.

The 28-year-old made his Elite League debut for the Blaze in 2019/20 and had nine goals and nine assists in 35 regular-season appearances. He was also voted as the team's Clubman of the Year.

Last season, he played in the ECHL, first with Indy Fuel and then with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits. In total, Broll collected 15 points over 40 regular-season games. 

Head Coach Danny Stewart said: "'Broller' is a big part of our organisation and group, and getting him back was a big priority for us. He has an on-ice presence that fills our players with confidence. His size makes him difficult to deal with for opposing d-men and he also has good skill.

"He skates well, has good hands and can fire the puck. During his season with us, before his injury, he was on pace for 15-20 goals, and we feel he can do that again.

"He is a leader on and off the ice, and he buys into the organisation. We all need players like him in our league. He is active amongst the fanbase, in the community, and a fan favourite. We're really happy to have him back."
