The Fort McMurray Oil Barons are pleased to announce that 20 year old defencemen James Isaacs has committed to attend and play for the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds in Canada West of the C.I.S. for the upcoming 2010-2011 season.
James just completed his 2nd year with the Oil Barons while posting 8 goals, 27 assists in 58 games during the 2009-2010 season. He was instrumental in the long playoff run the Oil Barons had adding 7 goals in 20 games, 3 on the power play. His physical style, competitiveness, and determination made James a difficult player to play against. James’ maturity and leadership both on and off the ice was very valuable to the younger players on the team. He was rewarded for his hard work last week when he was presented with the team’s Most Dedicated Player at the year-end banquet.
The Oil Barons organization would like to congratulate James and his family and wish him all the best in his future endeavors both academically and athletically.
