T.J. Brennan signs in Switzerland

Longtime Phantoms defenseman T.J. Brennan is heading overseas.

The 31 year old blueliner has signed with Swiss League side HC Thurgau.

Brennan won the Eddie Shore Award twice for top defenseman in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies (2014, 2016).

Arguably one of the best AHL defensemen ever, the Moorestown, New Jersey native had 156 points (44 goals, 112 assists) in 230 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (2016-2020).

TJ Brennan appeared in 53 career NHL games with the Sabres, Panthers, and Maple Leafs.

Brennan was called up to the Flyers on December 6th, 2017, but didn’t appear in the lineup and was sent down two days later. He was traded to the Blackhawks organization in February.
