McConnell, an Airdire native, joins the team in exchange for future considerations. As a 17 year old Jordan had an impressive rookie season scoring 12 goals and 13 assists for a total of 25 points.
“We are very excited about the additions of Brett and Jordan as they instantly improve our forward group adding size and skill while building on our identity up front of speed and high compete level” said Head Coach James Poole when asked about the newly acquired forwards. “Along with being quality players and people, Brett brings leadership to a young Canucks nucleus while Jordan brings the experience of being a major contributor to the UFA Bisons 2015 AMHL & Pacific Championship. We would like to welcome Brett and Jordan, along with their families, to the Canucks organization and look forward to helping them achieve their individual goals while they contribute to the Canucks resurgence back to the top of the AJHL.”
