On Wednesday the Kimberley Dynamiters announced that they traded for forward Nick Graham from the Princeton Posse.
Graham is in his second full season in the KIJHL. Last season he scored four goals and three assists in 39 games while amassing 113 penalty minutes.
So far this season with the Posse, Graham has five goals and 30 penalty minutes in 16 games.
The news of the trade came as a surprise for Graham. He reported that he did not ask for a trade. He knew he was being traded when he received a text message mid-Wednesday from the Posse head coach asking him to come to the arena office.
"I knew what that meant. He invited me into the office, and let me know that I was going to go to Kimberley; that it will be a good experience, and that the Nitro's are a good club."
Even with the surprise, Graham is optimistic about the trade. "It means good new things, and new experiences."
Graham said that he is a hard working forward, and quick on his skates. He hopes to be able to bring both those aspects to the Nitro's. It was for those reasons, that head coach and general manager acquired Graham.
"Nick is a veteran forward who works extremely hard, skates well and plays on the edge." Stuart said. "We are harder to play against with this addition and are excited to welcome Nick to our group."
Graham is expected to arrive in Kimberley in time for Tuesday's game against the Fernie Ghostriders in Sparwood.
