(Boise, ID) ? Defenseman Dustin Friesen has been loaned to Bridgeport of the American Hockey League, head coach and director of hockey operations Hardy Sauter announced Wednesday morning. The 27-year-old Friesen is in his second season with the Idaho Steelheads after being acquired in a trade from the Utah Grizzlies last January. It is the second time he has been loaned to the Sound Tigers since joining the Steelheads. He spent eight games with Bridgeport late last season, scoring a goal and adding an assist. Friesen has two assists in 11 games so far this season with Idaho. He had 18 points in 30 regular-season games with the Steelheads last season before catching fire in the playoffs, tallying 13 points in 15 games from the blue line as Idaho reached the ECHL?s Kelly Cup finals. The American Hockey League is the highest level of minor-league hockey in North America. Idaho travels to Victoria this week for games against the Salmon Kings on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. All three can be heard live on KTIK (1350 AM) in the Treasure Valley or online at www.ktik.com. The Steelheads will be back at Qwest Arena with games on December 2, 3, and 4 against the rival Alaska Aces. A group night with the Steelheads is a great way to celebrate the holidays with family, friends, and co-workers ? and you can save money on ticket prices too. Contact the Steelheads front office at 208.383.0080 for more information.
