The 6-foot-5, 230-pound veteran is set to begin his ninth year as a professional and sixth in the CHL.

"Steve brings a combination of size and grit to our lineup," said Cutthroats' Head Coach Derek Armstrong. "He plays in all situations - five-on-five, power play, penalty kill. And he's experienced in what it takes to win in the CHL so we're excited to add him to our defensive unit."

Last season, Makway (MAHK-way) appeared in 64 games for the CHL's Evansville IceMen, recording four goals and 38 assists. Over six CHL seasons, the 29-year-old has skated in 289 games between Evansville, the Wichita Thunder, Mississippi RiverKings, and Laredo Bucks.

For his career, the Trail, British Columbia native has tallied 238 points on 47 goals and 191 assists in 459 total games. Makway has appeared in at least 55 games in six of his eight professional seasons.
