(COLUMBIA, S.C.) Aug. 21, 2007- The Columbia Inferno have signed defenseman Sean Offers, head coach and director of hockey operations Troy Mann announced today. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Offers returns to North America after having split the 2006-07 season between Kaufbeuren ESV of the German Bundesliga and Miesbach TEV of the German Oberliga. The 24-year-old scored one goal in seven games with Kaufberen ESV before moving on to Miesbach TEV, where he recorded 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 27 games.
