The Wightlink Raiders have moved quickly to secure the services of Canadian forward Jason Gorrie for the new season.

24 year old Ontario native Gorrie comes straight from USA league ice hockey where he starred for the Evansville Icemen in their recent play off championship victory in the AAHL. His 8 goals and 6 assists in 9 play off matches made him his team's best performer as they lifted the league trophy.

Prior to signing for Evansville, Gorrie played for college hockey most notably for Brockford in the NCAA III championship.

Player coach Jeremy Cornish says he is expecting Jason to make a big impact in the ENL.

"Jason had better numbers back home than even Peter Vaisenen from Invicta which is a good barometer for us.

“We need an import who can score and that's what Jason will be expected to do. He's new to the country and like the rest of our younger players he is keen to move up the hockey ladder. Jason is very excited about starting his pro career with the Wightlink Raiders and we are excited to have him."
