Press Release
The Port Huron Fighting Falcons, proud members of the North American
Hockey League have traded forward Nico Sierra to the Jamestown Ironmen
for defenseman Payden Mielke and a 2012-2013 tender.
Mielke, a Loveland, Co native has played in 16 games with the Ironmen
this season recording a goal and two assists. Jamestown acquired Mielke
this past summer from the Corpus Christi IceRays where he played in 55
games and recorded 1 goal and 11 assists.
Head Coach and General Manager Michael Gershon, on trading Nico Sierra,
“ Its always tough to move a three year veteran such as Nico Sierra,
but he felt like he needed a new challenge in his junior career and we
were happy to find him a good spot in a good organization as well as
getting in return pieces that we feel will help us this year and in the
future.”
Gershon on adding veteran defenseman, “With us only having two
returning defenseman we felt we needed to add a veteran to help our
young core that has done a very good job so far. With our division
being as tight as it is having a solid defense core to add to a deep
forward and goaltending group just makes us that much harder to play
against.
