Kimberley Dynamiters general manager Mike Reid continues to bolster his lineup.

Monday night, Reid confirmed the signing of 19-year-old forward Franco Colapaolo, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound forward and native of Calgary.

According to Reid, Colapaolo is expected in Kimberley Wednesday night and should be ready to suit up Saturday when the Beaver Valley Nitehawks visit the Kimberley Civic Centre (7 p.m.).
