Blaze Re-Sign Duo

Last updated : 30 April 2016 By CNS Sport

Coventry Blaze have re-signed defenceman David Clements and back-up net minder Renny Marr for the 2016/17 season.

Clements, 21, played 41 games for the Blaze last season after joining originally in a two way deal with MK Lightening whilst Marr joined the Blaze from Fife a year ago and has played for the Blaze in Elite League and Continental Cup matches.

New Head Coach Danny Stewart told the Blaze website: “Getting David back for a full season here in Coventry is great news for both parties. Whilst still young and early in his professional career, hopefully he can progress into a GB International quality player. He has a good right hand shot, is a puck moving defenceman and also comes with good size and a head for the game. He's very reliable already at a young age and is only going to get better with increased ice time.

"Renny is continuing to develop into a young talent here in the UK and hopefully another year at the Elite Level will progress him even more. He provides us with a reliable option behind Stewy (Brian Stewart) and someone who can be called upon when needed. That's important with the league continuing to grow and it will be up to me to find him minutes in net as at the end of the day, game time is what will make him better."
