Idaho Steelheads Head Coach Hardy Sauter is in just his fourth day on the job, and he's already signed two players.
Friday, Sauter announced that defenseman Weston Tardy and forward Geoff Irwin have inked deals with the defending National Conference Champions.
Tardy, 27, played with the Steelheads last season, and was voted the team's defenseman of the year. He scored one goal and handed out 18 assists in 50 games in the regular season. Tardy finished the playoffs with a plus-four rating.
Irwin, 25, made his professional debut with Idaho late last season. He played just eight games, but tallied two assists.
