The Coventry Blaze have secured the services of Evan Bloodoff for a second season, in what will be the forward's fourth overall in the Elite League.

After five seasons in the ECHL, the now 30-year-old joined the Fife Flyers in 2017 and was an instant hit with fans in Kirkcaldy. He put up two 27-goal regular seasons for the Flyers before moving to Coventry for 2019/20, scoring 22 himself and adding 13 assists.

"'Bloods' is a consistent producer in our league, and scoring the number of goals he has in three seasons isn’t easy to do, or find as a coach," explained Head Coach Danny Stewart. "We love his north-south style of game. He’s very direct, plays heavy, and is willing to go to hard areas and get rewarded.

"We committed to Bloods for the 2020/21 season and wanted to honor that deal again after a difficult year for everyone. We believe he continues to make us better and will be a big part of our club again."
