Confirmed as Jorgensen. A decent player granted but again not the type of player we needed imo.
Again another former EIHLr like many of our last few signings screams a management team with poor contacts.
But being up-to full quota eventually will make us stronger.

I'm not unhappy at this signing. Not the 'muscle" Todd spoke about but think we're proving to be quite tough anyway. We've played the majority of our conference rivals without being "bullied" so I suppose it makes sense this signing, we struggled defensively against braehead last time we didn't struggle with toughness I'd say. As we will be playing these teams the most I don't see it as a bad signing at all 😊 not who I'd have liked but we are still stronger with him at the back than we are without him. Just want to hurry and get Isaacs back in his natural position and Stocks back in his role because we've played no bad considering the lack of a forward and technically 2 dmen so I can only assume we are going to be even stronger when everyone is in the fold.

We are a better team with Jorgensen especially the special teams. If Todd actually acts on his word and is willing to make changes i'd be in favour of swapping Birzins or Isaacs for some proper muscle. Not against either player but these are the obvious choices for if we need to make a change. The team has shown some decent toughness up till now but its all our top end players that are sitting in the box.
With that being said add Jorgensen and Stockton to our line up and it can only make us better!

I'm kinda underwhelmed by this signing, I hope the guy fits in and does well but after waiting for so long for the right player to become available I expected better.
We might have been better just signing a player at the time rather than waiting for a month of the season playing an import short to sign a player of this class.
I agree with Dirty Lyle excitement level 1/10.

Hope he does well for us but our D as a unit despite looking pretty skillful and classy really is small especially whilst the only one with any real size and a tendency to get stuck in is currently playing at centre. Can't fault the results so far though so I will remain optimistic, Jorgensen certainly isn't a bad player at all.

Happy to assist with the news it was Jorgensen ! Good off season in regards to info early ! Happy with the signing yes bit of size and muscle would have been ideal but Jorgensen is a classy D man

good player but we have enough skill and speed on the team what we needed was a guy who could play but was bigger and more physical

Mmm signing a guy released in the middle of a 2 year contract early in the summer who hasn't been picked up by October. From a team that in the last few seasons have been below us in the league and have had real issue keeping the puck out their net. Not exactly one to get the fans buzzing is it.
If he was replacing say Birzins yeah I could see it, as our final guy poor (and lazy) choice.
Hope he does well and at least he can give young and Moyer a decent rest.

welcome aboard Jim Will add a bit of experience to the back end and lighten the load on the rest From what I remember good skater and set up man with a wicked shot bit like Derek Keller Good enough to play 3 seasons at Blaze along with Braehead and Steelers From what I remember during the summer the Blaze fans were gutted he moved on. Were not the coach or the owner so hopefully the guy comes in mixes well and pushes us on Hope he is in for Saturdays game against the purple brigade looks like a full house
