Romford Raiders Welcome Canadian Defenceman Jarrett Baker

The Romford Raiders are thrilled to announce the signing of Canadian defenceman Jarrett Baker for the upcoming season.

Baker, 24, developed through the competitive Canadian system, and he established himself as a dependable presence on the blue line. He joins the Raiders from Dalhousie University, where he spent the last four seasons. Before this, Baker spent five seasons at the highest tier of junior hockey in Eastern Canada, which serves as a development pathway for athletes aspiring to professional careers, particularly in the NHL.

The 6ft, left-shooting blueliner brings a strong two-way game, solid defensive awareness, and a calm presence on the ice. The no-nonsense defenceman adds stability and depth to the Raiders’ defensive core.

Head Coach Jason Buckman commented on the signing:
“It’s great to have Jarrett commit to the Gold & Blue. He comes highly recommended and will bring a big presence to the blue line.

Jarrett plays a physical game but can also be an offensive threat, and I will look for him to lead the D-core and be an important part of the roster this coming season“

Baker is eager to make his mark in the UK, commenting:
“I’m super excited to sign with the Raiders. This is an incredible opportunity for me in my life and hockey career. I’ve heard amazing things about the organisation, especially the fans. I’m looking forward to meeting all the guys and getting things started in England.”

The Romford Raiders welcome Jarrett to the team and look forward to seeing him hit the ice in blue and gold. Interested in sponsoring Jarrett or any of our 2025/26 announced players?
