The Genting Casino Coventry Blaze are delighted to announce the signing of Canadian forward Tanner Kaspick for the 2026/27 Elite League season.
The 28-year-old arrives in Coventry following an impressive professional career that has seen him play in the AHL, ECHL, ICEHL, DEL, Slovakia, and Sweden.
Originally selected in the fourth round (119th overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft by the St. Louis Blues, Kaspick developed through the Brandon Wheat Kings junior system, serving as team captain during the 2017/18 season.
He made his professional debut with the San Antonio Rampage in the AHL during the 2017/18 campaign, registering 6 goals and 8 assists for 14 points in 59 games.
Between 2019 and 2024, Kaspick spent time in the AHL with the Utica Comets, Springfield Thunderbirds, Iowa Wild, and San Jose Barracuda, while also gaining experience in the ECHL.
Last season, Kaspick played 40 games in the ICEHL with Asiago, recording 6 goals and 12 assists for 18 points. He then finished the campaign in Germany’s DEL with Grizzlys Wolfsburg.
During the 2025/26 season, Kaspick split his time between Slovakia and Sweden, featuring for HKM Zvolen and HK Spišská Nová Ves in the Slovak Extraliga before spending 10 games in Sweden’s HockeyEttan.
Head Coach Kevin Moore said:
“Tanner is a heavy, physical centreman who brings a high work rate to our group. He is elite in the faceoff circle and gives us a strong net-front presence. We’re excited to welcome Tanner to Coventry and look forward to seeing the impact he’ll have on our team this season.”
