The Sioux Falls Stampede announced Monday they have acquired goaltender Xavier Medina from the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).

Medina went 18-8-3 with a 3.05 Goals-Against-Average (GAA) and a .891 save percentage in 30 games last season with Windsor. He appeared in five playoff games, going 3-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .935 save percentage while guiding the Spitfires to the OHL Final. He was named OHL Goaltender of the Week in June for his playoff performance.

The 6-foot, 181-pound netminder is 20 years-old and grew up playing for Little Caesars, Belle Tire and Honeybaked AAA clubs.

In order to make room on the roster, the Stampede have released Tucker Tynan. Medina will practice with the Stampede this week and will be available for Friday's game against the Waterloo Black Hawks at the PREMIER Center.
