He was originally selected by the Youngstown Phantoms in 2013 Futures Draft and appeared in three games with the Phantoms during the 2013-14 season. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound center has already committed to play collegiate hockey at St. Lawrence University where he will join current Stampede defenseman Garrett Cecere.

In addition to adding Gicewicz to the Stampede roster, the Herd also acquired a 2016 Phase I draft choice and a 2016 Phase II draft choice from the Stars.

Peters was in his second season with the Stampede and tallied 19 points (10g, 9a) in 35 games. Last season, he appeared in 28 games and posted 11 points (6g, 5a). He will attend Northern Michigan University next fall.
