At Flames, Eriksson logged 11 points in 18 appearances before being cut. He then joined Jeff Mason’s Stars where he registered 17 points from 36 league games.
Tom Coolen, Flyers’ coach, said “Johan is a proven scorer. He is big and strong and looking to improve his offensive totals from last year. He has been working hard all summer and is ready to go."
Eriksson joins a forward line that includes American, Canadian and Finnish skaters. The players are expected to arrive in the next few weeks ahead of the opening Challenge Cup ties against Glasgow Clan on September 23-24.
