Flames have added Canadian forward Jack Jacome to the roster while Brett Welychka is placed on the long-term injured reserve list. 

25 year old Jacome iced last season at Danish side Rungsted Seier Capital where he posted 9 goals and 22 points in 39 starts.  He made his EU debut the year prior in ICEHL with Pioneers Vorarlberg, leading his team in points when 48 games yielded 29 from 9 goals and 20 assists. 

Prior to the pro game, the 5’8”, 175lb skater spent 5 NCAA seasons at Clarkson university. He had 110 points in 165 career appearances thanks to 26 goals and 84 assists including a 25 point campaign in his last term where he served as club captain. 

The native of Brampton, Ontario, played 2+ development seasons in the OJHL with Georgetown Raiders, bagging 59 goals and 161 points in 112 games before moving on to Clarkson.

“Unfortunately, Brett suffered a significant injury in training and will be out for a good stretch so we have had to place him on LTIR,” explained Paul Dixon.

“Jack a good skating energetic player with some offensive punch, and we are looking forward to getting back to a full lineup. Timing was tight for getting everything in place so we are not sure yet when he will debut but we will get him in the lineup as soon as we are able.”
