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 the club acquired defenseman Caleb Price from the Greensboro Gargoyles in exchange for future considerations.
Price, 26, comes to Idaho in the midst of his second ECHL season, with a total of 24 ECHL games under his belt. Last year, he collected five points (1G, 4A) in 20 games with Greensboro and the Norfolk Admirals, skating in 10 games for each team.
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound blueliner previously spent four seasons at the collegiate level, first playing in two seasons at Lindenwood University, where he grabbed 20 points (7G, 13A) in 57 games. He then played his final two seasons at Mercyhurst College, picking up 11 points (0G, 11A) in 53 contests to round out his collegiate career.
At the junior level, Price skated in 194 games across four seasons in the NCDC, NAHL, and USHL, amassing 63 points (18G, 45A) and 91 PIM in those games.
