Assuming a role as the Crunch's top pairing defenseman, Bodie responded with a professional high 31 assists and 37 points in 74 games.
As a free agent from the Lightning, Bodie opted to halt his North American career, agreeing to an initial one-year deal with Russian club, Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) on July 20, 2018.[6] In his debut season in Russia in 2018–19, Bodie recorded 3 goals and 16 points in 39 games from the blueline with Torpedo.
On June 14, 2019, Bodie as a free agent opted to sign in Sweden, agreeing to a one-year contract with the Växjö Lakers of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).[7] Mid-way into the 2019–20 season, Bodie collected 1 goal and 3 points in 17 games with Växjö, before he transferred to fellow SHL outfit, IK Oskarshamn, for the remainder of the campaign on November 25, 2019.[8] Bodie in an increased role with Oskarshamn, boosted his offensive totals with 1 goal and 10 points in 27 regular season games.
