The Guelph Storm Hockey Club announced today that 2015 first round pick Isaac Ratcliffe has agreed to terms on a Standard Player Agreement with the team.

The London native had 22 goals and 49 points in 32 games at the minor midget level with the London Junior Knights. At 6’05 and 183 pounds, Ratcliffe has the look of a prototypical power forward. Hard to handle because of his size and skating ability, Ratcliffe has a very good skill set making him a threat in close on the net.

The 16 year old most recently played in the OHL Gold Cup in Kitchener for Team Alliance. Due to illness, Ratcliffe played in only two of five games, but managed to score twice in the final a 6-2 loss to Team GTHL Blue.

“Isaac was a player that we coveted leading up to the OHL Priority Selection and we were extremely excited to have been able to select him.” GM Mike Kelly said. “He brings a unique combination of skill, size and character to our team. We are thrilled to have signed Isaac to a Standardized Player Agreement, and we look forward to working with Isaac and his family over the next 4 years”.

Ratcliffe met with Storm management and staff at the annual rookie day last weekend and will join the rest of the Storm when training camp opens at the Sleeman Centre in August.
