Tomas Manco (born Brezno, 19 January 1988) is an Australian ice hockey player currently playing as a defenceman for the CBR Brave in the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL). Manco is a former Australian International who first played for Australia in 2012.
Manco first played ice hockey in 2005 for the Sydney Bears of the Australian Ice Hockey League in 2005. In 2006 Manco became a member for Sydney of the New South Wales Ice Hockey Midget League and also played his second season for the Bears. In 2007 Manco moved to the West Sydney Ice Dogs (now Sydney Ice Dogs) where he played 23 games, scoring two goals and recording three assists in his first season. In 2012 season Manco was named as one of the teams alternate captains. In January 2014 the Ice Dogs announced that Manco along with Scott Stephenson would not be returning for the 2014 season.
On 5 February 2015, CBR Brave announced the signing of Manco and former teammate David Dunwoodie from the Sydney Ice Dogs for the 2015 AIHL season. The Aussie pair will add depth to the Brave roster and are regarded as very good signings.
25 April 2015, Tomas made his return to the AIHL and debut for the CBR Brave in the opening round clash of the 2015 AIHL season in Canberra when the CBR Brave took on Tomas' former club the Sydney Bears. The Brave ran out 4-2 winners over the Bears in front of a packed Brave Cave.
