Jooris was suprised when the Flames offered him a contract:

"I think it caught a lot of people off guard, including myself," Jooris said. "Going into this summer, I wasn't expecting anything out of this camp. Never in my dreams that I would be getting this opportunity to play.


"When you go into a development camp, you want to show that you can play, and you want to show your stuff. They liked the way I played. They liked what I brought on and off the ice, and they said they were going to offer me a contract."
Flames general manager Jay Featser is pleased to have Jooris with the organization.


"Josh is a right shot center with size and skill,” Feaster said in a statement. "During our recent development camp, he played an aggressive, up-tempo style and displayed good grit and a high compete level. Our staff felt strongly that we should attempt to get him signed, and we are pleased to welcome him to the organization. He will play for us in Penticton, and then will be given an opportunity to compete for a spot at main camp."
