(Boise, ID) - Long-time Steelhead forward and all-time leading scorer Marty Flichel was one of twelve players named to the ECHL's "All-Decade Team" on Wednesday.

Darrell Hay, who spent five seasons with the Steelheads, and Peter Metcalf, who played one season in Idaho, were also selected for the team. The team, voted on by hockey fans at ECHL.com, included six forwards, four defensemen, two goaltenders, and one head coach:

Forwards: Marty Flichel (Idaho); Luke Curtain (Atlantic City/Fresno); Barret Ehgoetz (Utah/Cincinnati); Scott Bertoli (Trenton); Wes Goldie (Pee Dee/Victoria/Alaska); Randy Rowe (Peoria/Johnstown/Charlotte/Trenton).

Defensemen: Darrell Hay (Florida/Columbia/Idaho); Matt Shasby (Columbus/Long Beach/Alaska); Chad Starling (Peoria/Utah/Cincinnati/Ontario); Peter Metcalf (Atlantic City/Trenton/Idaho/Alaska/Florida).

Goaltenders: Mark Magliarditi (Florida/Louisiana/Richmond/Las Vegas); Scott Sterling (Trenton/Peoria/Atlantic City/Fresno).

Coach: Davis Payne (Pee Dee/Alaska)

Flichel, Ehgoetz, Goldie, Rowe, and Starling are still active on ECHL rosters.

Flichel, 34, is the all-time leading scorer in the history of the Idaho Steelheads with 352 points, 343 of which came during the now-completed decade of 2000-2010. Flichel also has 44 points in 52 Kelly Cup Playoff games and earned first-team All-ECHL honors following the 2006-2007 season when he helped the Steelheads win the organization's second Kelly Cup championship.

Hay anchored Idaho's defense corps during the team's two Kelly Cup championships (2004, 2007), was twice named an ECHL All-Star while with Idaho, and also earned All-ECHL honors following the 2007-2008 season. The 30-year-old is still playing professionally in Europe.
