BOISE, ID - The Idaho Steelheads announced today that they have acquired the rights of defenseman Steve Chabbert from the Dayton Bombers in exchange for future considerations. The 26-year-old Chabbert, who has 23 points in 97 professional games, is expected to make his Steelheads' debut either tonight or tomorrow night against the Victoria Salmon Kings.
Chabbert, a Sioux Lookout, Ontario native has not played since 2005-2006 when he recorded one goal and eight assists in 23 games with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.
