Jeremy Brodeur, the son of New Jersey Devils legend Martin Brodeur, has signed a contract with his father's former organization.
This afternoon, reports confirmed that Jeremy Brodeur has signed an AHL contract with the Devils' affiliate, the Utica Comets. He will rejoin the Comets after spending part of last season with them. The Comets also announced the signing of Will MacKinnon alongside Jeremy Brodeur.
NEWS: we've signed Will MacKinnon and Jeremy Brodeur to one-year, one-way AHL contracts!
With this contract, Jeremy Brodeur will start his 8th season of professional hockey. This one-way contract gives him his first full opportunity to secure a spot on an AHL roster. Last season, in 32 ECHL games with the Adirondack Thunder, Brodeur had a 2.56 goals against average and a 0.918 save percentage.
It seems Jeremy Brodeur is set to be the backup goalie in the AHL, providing solid depth for the Utica Comets. If he performs well, he could earn more playing time and potentially move up to the next level.
