Kalamazoo Adds Cole Pierce from Port Huron

Press Release

Kalamazoo, MI- The Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings, proud members of the North American Hockey League’s North division, announce a number of roster transactions that have been completed in the last 24 hours.
 
First, defenseman Sean Campbell has been traded to the Michigan Warriors for future considerations. Campbell, who has been in the NAHL the past two seasons, played in fifteen games this season with Kalamazoo, but wasn’t able to register a point. He logged two penalty minutes, and was a minus-1. The season before, the East Lansing native skated in 36 contests, and posted seven points on one goal and six assists. He was also plus-4 with 49 penalty minutes.
 
In a separate transaction, Kalamazoo has traded future considerations to the Port Huron Fighting Falcons to acquire defenseman Cole Pierce. The nineteen-year-old rookie defenseman from Grand Lodge, Michigan dressed in fourteen games for the Fighting Falcons, and he was able to tally one assist, was +2, and picked up two penalty minutes. The 5-9, 170 pound defenseman adds to a blue-line core that looks almost brand new compared to how the season started, after getting Mark Esshaki back from injury, and acquiring Sam Johnson and Brendan Vetter through trades earlier in the season.
 
Lastly, in a yet another move, Kalamazoo has released defenseman Kyle Ware.
