Texas Brahmas rumored to
be looking at ECHL Goaltender Steve Silverthorn

Idaho Steelheads goaltender available

The Brahmas are said to be looking to add some height to their goaltending and someone they are rumored to be looking at is former Idaho Steelheads (ECHL) goaltender Steve Silverthorn.

The 27-year-old played at Coach Wildfong’s alma mater, Colgate University, and is looking for a fresh start. After the Alaska Aces swept the Steelheads out of the playoffs with a 4-0 series win in the opening round, Silverthorn announced his intention to leave the team. "I enjoyed my time here, but obviously there comes a time in your career when you've got to move on," he said.

At 6’ 2”, 190 lbs, Silverthorn was a member of the Steelheads 2007 Kelly Cup Championship team. He was named Kelly Cup Playoffs MVP, after posting a 16-6 record while setting new ECHL playoff records for wins (16) and minutes played (1,388) in a single postseason. He finished the 2006-2007 regular season ranked 1st in the ECHL with 36 wins, 8th in GAA (2.57), 18th in SV% (90.8%), T-2nd in shutouts (5), T-1st in shootout wins (6), 3rd in minutes played (3,435) and 5th in saves (1,451).

Update: EuroHockey.net reported that Silverthorn has signed with German team EC Bad Tolz.
