BOISE, Idaho - The Idaho Steelheads activated D'Arcy McConvey from the 30-day injured reserve list today. The 25-year-old had been rehabilitating from sports hernia surgery he underwent during the summer. He will be dressed for tonight's game against the Las Vegas Wranglers; his first since signing with Idaho on October 16th.

McConvey, who was the Steelheads team captain in 2005-06, led the team in goals (39), assists (47), points (86), power play goals (16), shorthanded goals (4), game-winning goals (8) and shots (279) in only 58 games played. He was named to the ECHL All-Second Team after finishing tied for the league lead with 39 goals and 3rd in the ECHL with 86 points. The Richmond, Ontario native received Idaho's Cal Ingraham Leading Scorer Award and Aquafina 3-Stars Award, and was voted Team MVP by his teammates last season. The 5-10, 190-pound center was selected as a starter for the 2006 All-Star Game and he had two assists to help the National Conference to a 7-6 win over the American Conference. He was also selected as the CCM Tacks ECHL Player of the Month for March (14g and 27 points in 15games played). Under contract to Iowa of the American Hockey League last season, McConvey appeared in 14 games with Idaho's affiliate.

In his first professional season with Columbia in 2004-05, McConvey ranked eighth among ECHL rookies with a team-leading 54 points in 60 regular season games and had two assists in five Kelly Cup Playoff games while also playing four games with Reading of the ECHL. He also played four years at Bowling Green State University from 2000-04. He scored 102 points (31g-71a) in 153 career games and led the team in scoring each of his final two seasons.
