Idaho Steelheads News Release
Boise, ID- The Steelheads (7-7-2) picked up two shorthanded goals this evening, but that was not enough to prevail over the Stockton Thunder (6-6-3), who earned a 7-3 win in front of 4,095 fans at Qwest Arena.
The Thunder picked up the first three goals of the game. Ryan Huddy opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal, unassisted, at 9:28.

Adam Huxley made it 3-0 with an even-strength goal at 13:29, assisted by Justin Chwedoruk and Josef Hrabal. The Steelheads did tally one before the period came to a close, as Mark Bomersback scored his first ECHL goal of the season; an unassisted shorthanded goal at 16:20.
The second period began with Idaho trailing 3-1, before Mike LaLonde scored at 7:53 to put his team ahead 4-1. After the LaLonde goal, Rejean Beauchemin was replaced by Matt Climie for the Steelheads; however, Climie was relieved by Beauchemin after 2:57 of game time.
