"We're very pleased to sign Nick as this is something we've been working on for the last little while.", stated Dale DeGray. "Nick is a big, mobile defenseman, who has proved he can play effectively against older players in Jr.B. We're really happy to add him to our back end."

The 6'2, 175lb rearguard tallied 21 points in 48 games as a 16 year old in Jr. B last season and had 5 goals and 9 assists in just 14 games during the 2016/2017 campaign.
