Playing career

Broll played four seasons (2009–2013) of major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), scoring 47 goals and 92 assists for 139 points, while earning 285 penalty minutes, in 255 games played.[1]

At the beginning of the 2013–14 season, on October 10, 2013, he made his NHL debut skating with the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 4–0 victory over the Nashville Predators.[2]

In the 2014–15 season, Broll was assigned to remain with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. After 21 scoreless games with the Marlies, Broll was assigned to ECHL affiliate the Orlando Solar Bears on December 8, 2014. While with the Solar Bears, Broll was traded by the Maple Leafs along with Carter Ashton to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft on February 6, 2015.[3]

As a free agent from the Lightning following the conclusion of his entry-level deal, Broll was unable to attain another NHL deal. On September 21, 2016, he signed a professional try-out contract to attend the Montreal Canadiens training camp.[4] He was later signed to a one-year contract with ECHL affiliate, the Brampton Beast on September 27, 2016.[5] Before playing a game with the Beast, Broll was signed to a professional try-out contract to begin the 2016–17 season with the Canadiens AHL affiliate, the St. John's IceCaps. After 43 games with the IceCaps, Broll signed to a one-year contract extension through the 2017–18 season on February 16, 2017.[6]

On June 18, 2019, Broll opted to sign his first contract abroad, agreeing to a one-year contract with English club, Coventry Blaze of the EIHL.[7] He collected 18 points in 35 regular season games with the Blaze.

Having returned to North America during the COVID-19 pandemic, Broll opted to return to the ECHL, agreeing to a contract with the Indy Fuel on October 1, 2020.[8]
