Coventry Blaze Ice Hockey team have signed Canadian forward Carl Lauzon.
The 28-year-old from Montreal was a free agent following the demise of Hull Stingrays, where he was assistant-player coach last season.
Speaking about his signing Blaze coach Chuck Weber said to the Blaze website: "We are excited to add Carl to our forward mix. He is another player that can play all three forward positions and was a leading scorer on his team last season.
"I'm really excited this next challenge is with the Blaze. The organisation has a first-class reputation amongst players and with coach Weber returning I desperately wanted to be part of what they are building there.
"My goal is to help the club challenge for trophies and to continue the great progress they made in the second half of last season. I really wanted to join the club and the club really wanted me so it was a very easy decision for me to sign for the team. I can't wait for the season to start and I'm really looking forward to playing in front of the Blaze fans in August."
