Pierce will be a welcome addition on the blue line for the Oil Capitals.  Virden Oil Capitals Head Coach, Troy Leslie said, “Hayden is a solid puck moving defender, who will bring a great deal of leadership to our room, as he was a former captain in Dauphin. He is a complete player, who plays with a great deal of intelligence. We look forward to getting him into Virden and settled into our lineup.”
