As others have said, as a solitary signing it would be pretty good but not really what we need, Todd and Hutchins poor contract network shining through I think.

Let's all just wait and see how the team does, not what we all thought we were waiting for but I'll reserve my judgment until I see how the team copes.

Our team has already got ALL the fans right behind them despite some doubts before the start of the season. I think we should give Jim max8imum support. Look how many on this forum expressed doubts about Charlie Mosely, out Player of the Month.

I cannot understand bringing in JJ UNLESS Todd is thinking of replacing Birzins or Isaacs, I think the team still need a centre ice.

Jorgensen is a great signing in our conference, he is a top 3 defenceman in our conference and in the storm conference. Very happy

Stockton could yet be a liability but Schaber is not a natural centre ice and whilst LeBlanc has done well points wise he isn't fit enough for a centre either, it's well known that a centre ice should be the fittest guy in your forward line. As soon as a centre man goes down Fife are playing Isaacs in that position ........less than ideal in my book.

I really do not understand the negativity on this page and what often seems like a knee-jerk need to slag off our players. It is short-termism and if we are struggling say a third of the way through the season then you would have a right to moan. Flyers have won 4 out of 5 competitive games at this stage. Jim Jorgensen has been an impressive EIHL attacking d-man and when he played for Clan seemed to be one of the stand-out d-men in the whole league. If his signing doesn't work out long-term he can be replaced. The often-criticised Peter LeBlanc has a great AHL pedigree and seems to have got fitter in the past few games. LeBlanc is part of a TEAM that has been successful up to now and he plays a specific unheralded role in a squad which has a mix of some very fast young skaters and some steady older heads. How many of LeBlanc's critics even realise that he is currently the highest point scorer in the whole Challenge Cup? Pete has played 4 Challenge Cup games and has scored 3 goals and 7 assists for 10 points. He also has 2 assists in our sole League game. So a tally of 12 points in 5 games avg 2.4 points a game would be 'bite-your-hand off to have' stuff for just about every team in the league.

Good balanced reply to all the negative posts..but I think a lot of points we are making is..it's not much good having a team which is moderately successful if it is playing in front of a rink which is a third full with no atmosphere which is the way that this team is heading. What we wanted was a good player but also a crowd pleaser to get another few hundred through the door and the crowd on there feet. Unfortunately Jorgensen is not that player and we have been lacking one since Nickerson and the crowds have been declining since. This team has the makings of being really good but we had an opportunity there to really get excitement...and once again we blew it.

Until he stops producing there is really no reason to criticise him. He seems to be doing all the right things even if he's not making a pure show of it. For me, he can stick around 😊
