Club History
Originally from the neighbouring town of Solihull, the Coventry Blaze evolved from the Solihull Barons to become the Solihull Blaze in 1996. In order to attract a new and larger fanbase the team moved to Coventry in 2000 and continue to occupy the 3000-seat SkyDome Arena.
The Coventry Blaze head coach is Paul Thompson, who also coaches the Great Britain men's national ice hockey team. Thompson is assisted by Luc Chabot and, from 2011, former player Mathias Soderstrom.
