Playing career
Brodeur developed his skills in major junior hockey with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before securing an entry-level contract with the Phoenix Coyotes on April 2, 2010.
He began his professional journey with the San Antonio Rampage, the Coyotes’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, and spent his final three seasons within their organization playing for the Portland Pirates. Upon entering free agency, Brodeur signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Wolves on July 30, 2014.
During the 2017–18 AHL campaign, Brodeur commenced the season on a professional tryout agreement with the Springfield Thunderbirds. Over 48 games, he accumulated 29 points while also appearing briefly for the Syracuse Crunch and Utica Comets.

He returned to North America for the 2020–21 season by signing with the Adirondack Thunder of the ECHL. After Adirondack paused operations due to the pandemic, Brodeur joined the Fort Wayne Komets on December 8, 2020.
