BOISE, ID – The Idaho Steelheads (@Steelheads), proud ECHL (@ECHL) affiliate of the Dallas Stars (@DallasStars), and Steelheads Head Coach & Director of Hockey Operations Everett Sheen announced today that goaltender Arno Tiefensee has been reassigned by the Dallas Stars (NHL) from the Texas Stars (AHL) to the Steelheads.
Tiefensee, 24, comes back to the Steelheads after spending the beginning of this campaign with the Texas Stars.
In four starts in Texas, Tiefensee posted a 0-3-1 record with a 4.93 goals against average and an .829 save percentage.
He’ll look to reclaim his form with the Steelheads, a place in which he thrived during the 2025-26 season.
Last year, in 11 starts for Idaho, the 6-foot-4 netminder earned a 7-1-3 record with a 2.32 GAA and a .926 save percentage. He posted a season-best six-game win streak from Nov. 8 – Nov. 22, in which he notched a 1.82 GAA and a .943 save percentage.
Tiefensee’s addition gives the Steelheads four goaltenders on their roster, with 30 total players heading into this weekend’s action against the Wichita Thunder.
Idaho and Wichita continue their three-game set on Friday, with puck drop set for 6:05 p.m. MT from INTRUST Bank Arena. Stay up to date with all things on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
