The IDP Coventry NIHL Blaze are pleased to announce the return of 26-year-old forward, Thomas Brooke-Smith, for the 2024/25 season.

Brooke-Smith, who returns for his fourth season with the club, registered 15 points (4 goals, 11 assists), and 8 penalty-minutes in 27 appearances for the NIHL Blaze last season.

On re-signing for the NIHL Blaze Brooke-Smith said…

“I am very excited to be back for another season, we have a great opportunity to build on our successes from last season and hopefully go that step further by winning some silverware.”

“There is a real buzz in the dressing room as we prepare for the new season as we have one of the strongest teams in recent memory, one I’m very proud to be a part of it.”

“Last season I found my home as the 3rd Centre and was pleased to put up a career year but there will be no room for complacency with the depth of squad we have this year, everyone will need to compete week-in, week-out and Sean will have some tough decisions to make.”

NIHL Blaze Head Coach, Sean Alderson said…

“I’m pleased to have Tom back for another season, he had a breakout season for us last season and was a valuable member of our 3rd line.”

“He is also a great team guy who shows a great willingness to learn and understands his role very well making him a pleasure to work with.”
