BOISE, ID - The ECHL (@ECHL) on Sunday announced that Idaho Steelheads’ defensemen Cody Haiskanen and Matt Register are the co-recipients of the 2022-23 AMI Graphics Plus Performer of the Year award after finishing the season with a plus-minus rating of +53. The +53 rating is tied for the second-highest in a season in ECHL history.

Register, 33, who last week earned a spot on the All-ECHL First Team, was even or better in 57 of his 68 games this season. He tied for third among ECHL defensemen with 52 points (9G, 43A) and scored his 100th career ECHL goal on Saturday night.
