Playing career

He played in prospect camps for the Columbus Blue Jackets[8][9] and the Dallas Stars, but did not sign with either team.[10] Brodeur joined the New York Rangers on a professional try out, but was released after the first preseason game against his father's former team, the New Jersey Devils.[11]

He signed with the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL after the end of the OHL's 2016–17 season, but did not appear in a game.[12] In 2017–18, he signed with the Allen Americans in the ECHL. He was then acquired off waviers by the Norfolk Admirals during the 2018–19 season.

In 2019, Brodeur signed with the Peoria Rivermen of the Southern Professional Hockey League.[13]

Personal life

Brodeur was born in Essex Fells, New Jersey, when his father, Martin was a member of the New Jersey Devils.[1] His brother Anthony has also played professional hockey as a goaltender.[14]
