The Salmon Arm Silverbacks have acquired 2003-born forward Isaac Lambert from the Ottawa Jr. Senators of the Central Canada Hockey League for future considerations.

Lambert, who’s committed to the University of Maine, signed with the Jr. Sens last August but didn’t play any games with them because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Victoriaville, QC product played with the Trois-Rivières Estacades of the Quebec Midget AAA Hockey League in 2019-20 and posted 15 goals and 36 points in 42 games.

He was also selected by the Rimouski Oceanic in the 5th round, 87th overall, in the 2019 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Entry Draft.
