Coventry Blaze Ice Hockey team have extended the trial of James Isaacs for another two weeks.
James Pease told the Blaze website: "It all happened so quickly with James (Isaacs). We spoke initially and it was clear the guy wanted to get on the ice and impress us. Before we knew it he was here, with stick and skates in hand and ready to go."
Pease continued, "To come into a new dressing room, not knowing most of the guys and having to learn systems quickly isn’t an easy thing to do but Izzy (Isaacs) pulled it off and full credit has to go to him. I spoke with Chuck and we see it as a no-brainer. The next couple of weeks is a busy period for us with trips to Cardiff, Nottingham and Belfast so we recognise that we need as many bodies as we can. Isaacs has done a good job for us so far, and therefore we are more than happy to extend the trial.”
Blaze Head Coach Chuck Weber added: "Isaacs is exactly as advertised and probably a bit more. He blocks shots and wins battles. I am sure the fans that saw our games this weekend recognise the effort that James made to impress them and us. He deserves the chance to stay with us longer. His attitude has been excellent so let’s see what the next two weeks bring for James Isaacs and the Coventry Blaze organisation."
