GENEVA, ILLINOIS - With the USHL Trade Deadline approaching at 6 p.m. CST Monday, the Chicago Steel bolstered their blueline by acquiring two-way defenseman Ben Mirageas from the Bloomington Thunder in exchange for right wing Walker Duehr.

Mirageas, a Providence College (Hockey East) commit, received a 'B' rating from NHL Central Scouting as a 2nd/3rd round candidate for the 2017 NHL Draft, which will be held June 23-24 at United Center in Chicago. A 6-foot, 170-pound, left-shot defenseman, Mirageas was ranked 48th among North American Skaters in NHL Central Scouting's Midterm Rankings, and 12th among North American Defensemen.
