Iowa Chops News Release
Des Moines, IA- The Iowa Stars announced today that the club has assigned forward Mark Bomersback and goaltender Steve Silverthorn to their ECHL affiliate, the Idaho Steelheads.
Bomersback, 25, began the season with Idaho appearing in 29 games and was the team's leading scorer with 30 points (16-14-30) when he received the call to Iowa on December 28, 2007. In 21 games with the Stars, the 5-10, 190-pound left wing tallied two goals and five assists with 13 penalty minutes.
Last season's ECHL Kelly Cup Playoff MVP, Silverthorn, has spent time with both Idaho and Iowa this season. The 27-year-old was loaned to Idaho on Oct. 31 after beginning the year in Iowa's training camp. The Stars recalled him on Dec. 17 and returned him to Idaho five days later. He played his last game with the Steelheads on Jan. 5 at Bakersfield recording a 2-1 win with 32 stops before earning his last recall to Iowa on Jan. 8. The 6-2 goalie went 2-5-0 with a 3.36 goals-against average and .886 save percentage with Iowa having seen action in nine games. In 19 games with the Steelheads this season, Silverthorn has compiled 8-9-2-2 record with two shutouts, a .914 save percentage and a 2.53 goals-against average.
