Canadian ‘D’ man James Isaacs has signed a short-term contract with Fife Flyers

Isaacs previously iced in the Elite League with Dundee Stars and Coventry Blaze, and has also had spells in the ECHL with Idaho Steelheads and Greenville Road Warriors.

Flyers’ Assistant Coach Jeff Hutchins said: “James is a steady stay at home defenseman that is all-round solid.

“He takes pride in playing the right way and he is good in the room – he’s well liked and respected by past players.

“He will help fill the void left by Phil (Paquet). It is the perfect situation for us and James.

“At this point we don’t know how long Phil will be out and James is intending to go the ECHL in four weeks time so he can stay in game shape until that time.

“James will be in the line-up this weekend.”
