The Coventry Blaze NIHL are a British ice hockey team based in Coventry, England. They are the NIHL affiliate of Coventry Blaze of the EIHL.[1] The team started life as the Coventry Blaze (ENL) in 2007, changing their name to the Coventry Blaze NIHL ahead of the 2012–13 season.[2] The team often provides many juniors competitive ice time. The team withdrew from the 2019–20 season, after being unable to replace the players that had left during the off-season, returning to NIHL action ahead of the 2020–21 season.[3][4]
