If the Flames sign Jooris I bet his buddy Greg Carey will join him.

Jooris was Carey's set up man in the OJHL.

Carey had 72 goas and Jooris had 90 assists, lol.

Congrats flames fans

The kid is one of the most humble people you will ever meet.

Craig Conroy was behind this signing. Thinks very highly of Josh. They actually play a similar style

Josh is the definition of a complete player. Extremely high hockey IQ and his best asset is his vision and play making abilities.

Also worth noting that Jooris was invited and attended the Bruins development camp in 2011.

Ger-Hiss? I would never have guessed that.

 

[MarkGio]

Will he be an AHL guy?

 

[Anglesmith]

Well, I doubt he'll be an AHL girl...

 

[Snazu]

I don't know, I've heard doctors can do some amazing things now a days.

 

[Lunatik]

likely 3rd/4th line center for the Heat

 

[Lunatik]

Ger-Hiss? I would never have guessed that.

I want to know is more of a hard or soft G

like Gerbil or Go, if its the softer Ger-iss rolls off the tongue petty well

 

[1989]

I'm thinking it's more like a Jurris, rhymes with Turris.

Bang on.

 

[BVicious]

Great signing. He will be great. But he is NOT our #19 prospect just so you are all aware

I'm obviously biased but he's one of the best players I've ever seen.

His jersey is in the hockey hall of fame as the highest scoring Canadian to ever play in Europe.

What's his personality like?

The most humble kid honestly. Brought up by 2 amazing parents who instilled proper morales

He's fun to be around and pretty low key. Hes one of those people who you just want to be around. Doesn't need to be centre of attention or anything.
