With the release of Filip Martinec last week Coach Tait has moved quickly the bolster the ranks and commented,
“When I knew Jordan was available, I obviously had to think long and hard about bringing him in, but I also knew his addition would make us stronger as a team as we all know the job Jordan has done playing against us..
When Dan got hurt a few weeks back we became pretty vulnerable and the constant searching for back ups just isn’t a feasible way to move forward.
We’re now stronger at the back and as the season progresses, we’ll benefit from the 3 of them being available”.
Jordan commenting on joining for his hometown club said,
“I’m extremely excited to get started with the Bison it’s been a dream of mine for a long time to be able to play for them one day, especially after coming up through the junior system and playing all my junior hockey in Basingstoke.
I’m looking forward to being able to wear a bison jersey and playing in front of such a great and noisy fan base”
