Bracknell

Elite League champions Coventry Blaze have signed defencemen Stuart Simmons and Danny Meyers from Bracknell Bees.

Canadian Simmons, 21, is on a month's trial after being released by Bracknell to make way for a new goaltender.

He will cover for Jeff Hutchins, who has been de-registered for at least six games after suffering a finger injury.

Meyers, 22, started the season with Basingstoke but joined Bracknell after a few games. Coventry are currently third from bottom of the table.

Under the terms of the deal, Meyers remains a Bracknell player and will only play for Coventry when Bracknell do not have a game.
