A four-year pro, Nie had a memorable rookie campaign in Kalamazoo, in which he helped guide the K-Wings to within one game of capturing their second consecutive United Hockey League Colonial Cup championship.

After the 2006-07 season in Kalamazoo, Nie has spent the past two seasons in the ECHL compiling a record of 51-25-6.

Nie has been stellar between the pipes recording a goals against average of 2.65, a save percentage of 0.906 and has racked up a record of 71-33-10 in 125 career games.

Nie will have the opportunity to showcase his talents next month, as he participates in the NHL training camp of the San Jose Sharks.

Besides reuniting with head coach Nick Bootland, who was captain the last time Nie was in Kalamazoo, the native of Nanticoke, Ontario will have one other familiar face in the locker room. In juniors, Nie was a member of the Ontario Hockey League's Plymouth Whalers and was a teammate of Andrew Fournier, who signed with the K-Wings earlier this off-season.
