Cullity re-joins Steelheads

Boise, ID (4/24/13) ? Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Brad Ralph announced Wednesday that defenseman Patrick Cullity has re-joined the Idaho Steelheads from the American Hockey League. The 26-year-old Cullity has bounced back and forth between Idaho and the AHL ? the highest level of minor-league hockey in North America ? three times this season. He has competed in 39 games at the ECHL level with Idaho, netting three goals and adding 11 assists, while skating in 21 games with Springfield and St. John?s of the AHL, picking up two assists. Cullity is expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday night in Boise as the Steelheads host the Ontario Reign in Game 3 of their ECHL Western Conference semifinal series, presented by KeyBank. The best-of-seven set is currently tied at one win apiece. Tickets for Game 3 (along with Games 4 and 5, also scheduled for Boise?s CenturyLink Arena) are available by calling 208-331-8497. In a season of record movement between Idaho and the AHL, Cullity?s return means Ralph now has seven of the eight defensemen that were on his opening-day roster ? Cullity, Gord Baldwin, Matt Case, Jace Coyle, Hubert Labrie, Scott Todd and John Ryder. Rookies James Isaacs and Steve Ferry are also on Idaho?s playoff roster, giving Ralph nine defensemen. Season Tickets for the 2013-14 season are already on sale! After finishing the regular season with 45 wins and nearly 100 points in the standings, you won?t want to miss any of the action next season when the Steelheads take the ice. Full-season packages begin at as little as $275 per seat. Partial-season packages are available as well. Contact the team?s front office at 208-383-0080 and ask to speak to an account executive today!
