Playing career

edit

Junior

edit

Brodeur spent three years playing his junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) for the Oshawa Generals,[1][2][3] drafted by the team in 2013[4] in the eighth round.[5] As a member of the Generals, Brodeur had a 2.78 goals-against average and .904 save percentage, becoming the franchise's all-time leader in shutouts[6] along with winning the OHL Championship and Memorial Cup in 2014–15.[7]

He played in prospect camps for the Columbus Blue Jackets[8][9] and the Dallas Stars, but did not sign with either team.[10] Brodeur joined the New York Rangers on a professional try out, but was released after the first preseason game against his father's former team, the New Jersey Devils.[11]

Professional

edit

He signed with the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL after the end of the OHL's 2016–17 season, but did not appear in a game.[12] In 2017–18, he signed with the Allen Americans in the ECHL. He was then acquired off waivers by the Norfolk Admirals during the 2018–19 season.

In 2019, Brodeur signed with the Atlanta Gladiators[13] but departed the team prior to the start of the regular season to play with the Peoria Rivermen of the Southern Professional Hockey League.[14]

After a short stint in 2020 with UK EIHL side Sheffield Steelers, Brodeur returned to the SPHL and signed with Knoxville Ice Bears in October 2020.[15] In January 2021, and after posting a shutout in his first start of the season, Brodeur signed an AHL contract with Binghamton Devils of the American Hockey League.[16] In April 2022, Brodeur made his first AHL start with an incredible 47 save performance on 50 shots against division leading Hershey Bears and was named the game's third star.[17]

By the timeframe of the late summer and early autumn of 2021, Brodeur had made an appearance for the Boston Bruins as a potential goaltending prospect, initially at the tri-team "2021 Prospects Challenge" tryouts, held in Buffalo, New York between the NHL prospects of the Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres and his father's former team, the New Jersey Devils[18] and under a week later, at the Warrior Ice Arena, the practice rink of the Bruins, Brodeur was listed as one of the goaltending participants in the Bruins' official 2021 training camp roster.[19]

As a free agent from the Devils, Brodeur was signed to a AHL contract over the summer with the Providence Bruins of the AHL and split the 2021–22 season between the Bruins and the Maine Mariners of the ECHL.[20]

On September 6, 2022, Brodeur continued his career in the ECHL, signing a contract with the Norfolk Admirals.[21] After a spell with the South Carolina Stingrays, Brodeur signed for UK EIHL side Manchester Storm in November 2022.[22]

On July 6, 2023, Brodeur returned to the Devils' minor league system, signing with the Utica Comets.[23]

Personal life

edit

Brodeur was born in Essex Fells, New Jersey, when his father, Martin was a member of the New Jersey Devils.[1] His brother Anthony has also played professional hockey as a goaltender.[24]
