Vernon, BC: The Vernon Vipers would like to announce they have acquired 20 year old forward Walker Erickson from the Merritt Centennials in exchange for future considerations.
"Walker has good size and experience," says Head Coach and GM of the Vipers Jason McKee. "He plays hard in all areas of the game which we are excited to add to our lineup."
Erickson, from Surrey, has played 133 regular season and playoff games over the last four seasons. He has spent time in Trail and Nanaimo as well as Merritt. He has 10 goals and 10 assists in 32 games so far this season.
The Vipers have also moved forward Gavin Schmidt to the Calgary Canucks of the AJHL in exchange for future considerations.
