“Jack brings a lot of experience to our group, in addition to his talents as a goaltender, and we”™re happy he”™s chosen our program as the next step in his junior career,” said Oilers head coach and general manager Tyler Deis. “We expect him to play an important role down the stretch given the youth of our team, especially on defence.”
