Manchester Storm are thrilled to announce the signing of forward Brandon Cutler ahead of the 2025/26 Elite Ice Hockey League season.

The 25-year-old Canadian arrives from EC Kassel Huskies (DEL2), as the talented winger looks to extend his stay on the European circuit. In 40 DEL2 appearances, Cutler recorded 25 points (11G, 14A) in his debut season outside North America.

Before his move to Europe, Cutler enjoyed a highly productive spell with the Utah Grizzlies (ECHL), where he amassed 122 points (61G, 61A) in just 127 games. His scoring prowess naturally led to multiple AHL call-ups, including stints with the Abbotsford Canucks, Belleville Senators, Hartford Wolf Pack, and Colorado Eagles. A product of the Western Hockey League (WHL), Cutler spent five seasons between the Victoria Royals and Red Deer Rebels, clocking up over 250 appearances and earning a reputation as a hard-working, dependable forward.

Head Coach Cam Critchlow commented:

“Brandon is a dynamic forward who brings a great work ethic and a solid two-way game. He’s proven he can produce offensively at the professional level and will be a key part of our forward group this season. He’s hungry to win and will fit right into the culture we’re building here in Manchester.”
