Piercey is playing in his sophomore season with the Ponies has tripled his goal production from his rookie season with nine goals already. Through 95 games he has totalled 12 goals and 15 assists.

Vierling is a skilled centre who will bring some depth to the Colts offence. Eligible for the 2020 NHL Draft, Vierling has played in 15 games this season posting two goals and eight assists.

We would like to welcome Vierling to the team and wish Tucker and Piercey the best of luck in Flint. Tucker will continue to wear the number two in Flint while Piercey will wear 19.
