The Cardiff Devils are delighted to announce the signing of Brodie Reid.
The 31-year-old winger joins the Devils from the Kansas City Mavericks, where he led his team in goals (25) and overall points (60) in 60 games played last season. He finished 9th overall in league scoring for the ECHL.
Before moving to Kansas City, Reid played 5 years in Europe’s EBEL League, playing 2 seasons with HC Bolzano, 2 with Dornbirner EC and a season with Villacher SV.
He led his team in scoring in the 2016-17 season, his second year in Bolzano, with 30 goals and 55 points in 60 games. The following season in Dornbiner, he once again finished as the top scorer on his team with 18 goals and 29 assists in 53 games.
His last year in Austria, the 2019-20 Covid-19 interrupted season, Reid scored 9 goals and 27 assists for 36 points in 45 games.
Reid started his pro career in the AHL after one year at Northeastern University, playing for the Worcester Sharks, the AHL affiliate of the San Jose Sharks. The forward played in Worcester for 3 years, scoring 31 goals, providing 40 assists for 71 points in 155 games.
Devils Head Coach Jarrod Skalde spoke about the signing of Brodie Reid:
“Brodie is a prolific scorer and has been at or near the top of his team’s scoring charts the last few seasons.
“He is coming off another great season that saw him lead his team in scoring in the ECHL, in probably the best season of competition in that league’s history.
“Covid saw a lot of players go back to play there that wouldn’t normally be in that league and the level of play was higher than normal, and he excelled as one of the top players in the league.
“His coaches and teammates say he makes players around him better and I think his mix of talent and experience is ideal for this team.”
