Steelheads agree to terms with Minnesota State alum

Boise, ID (7/7/2015) – Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Brad Ralph announced Tuesday that the ECHL’s Idaho Steelheads have agreed to terms with forward Chase Grant.

Grant, 25, is turning pro after wrapping up his college career at Minnesota State.

Grant is the second player to be officially added to Ralph’s training-camp roster, joining defenseman Jake Rutt.
