LINCOLN, Neb. - The Lincoln Stars have acquired forward Austin Magera from the Chicago Steel in exchange for a 2018 Phase II 11th Round Pick, the team announced today.

Magera will be available for this weekend's games against the Sioux Falls Stampede and Des Moines Buccaneers.
The Stars return to the Ice Box on Friday, Feb. 16 at 7:35 p.m. against the Omaha Lancers. Group and jump-in season tickets for the 2017-18 season are available by calling 402-474-7827.
