COVENTRY Blaze have signed teenage star Brynley Capps to a full-time deal from the start of the 2026/27 Elite League season.
The 18-year-old spent last season with Telford Tigers in the NIHL where he recorded 23 goals and 29 assists in 62 games.
He also claimed the NIHL All-Star young player of the year award.
Capps played for Telford on a two-way agreement with Blaze as he also scored his first professional goal for Coventry last season.
Blaze head coach, Kevin Moore said: “We are thrilled to have Brynley back full-time this season.
“He has put in a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes with Tom (Watkins) in Telford, as well as with our staff on and off the ice.
“We see Brynley developing into a consistent Elite League performer, and we can’t wait to see his summer hard work translate into training camp and beyond.”
Capps enjoyed a standout 2024/25 season with Blaze and also impressed on the international stage for Great Britain at under-18 and under-20 level.
He finished as the leading scorer with 11 points (six goals, five assists) at the IIHF under-18 men’s World Championship Division II Group A tournament in 2024.
More recently, Capps competed at the IIHF under-20 World Championship Division II Group A, where he recorded five goals and one assist in five games to help Great Britain secure a silver medal.
And Capps made his senior international debut for Great Britain’s men’s team earlier this year.
