"Jordan stood out as a good, tough player every time we played against him last season," head coach Rod Aldoff said. "He plays with an edge and has a great skill level. Our fans will appreciate his style of play immediately and I am looking forward seeing him in a Ice Flyers jersey."
During his first season of pro hockey in 2018-19, Ernst played one game in the AHL and 51 games with ECHL Kansas City Mavericks where he had five goals and nine assists. The two seasons prior to that, he played in the major junior hockey in Canada with the Sarnia Sting, compiling 35 goals and 48 assists for 83 points.
Aldoff added, "I am expecting Jordan to be an elite player every night for our team and be a difference maker on our march toward a championship."
