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 defenseman Jake Boltmann has been loaned to the Steelheads from the San Jose Barracuda
Boltmann, 25, returns to Idaho after skating in 54 games with the Steelheads last year in his first professional campaign. The blueliner collected 17 points (1G, 16A) in those contests and also appeared in three postseason games for the Steelheads against the Allen Americans.
The Edina, MN native signed a PTO with the Barracuda on March 15th of last season, picking up two assists in 14 games with San Jose at the tail end of last campaign, while also skating in two Calder Cup Playoff games for the club against the Henderson Silver Knights.
The 6-foot-1 200-pound defenseman signed an AHL contract with the Barracuda on July 28 this past offseason and has appeared in one game for San Jose so far in the 2026-27 season.
Boltmann’s addition brings the Steelheads to 29 players on their roster, with nine defensemen heading into this week’s action against the Thunder.
