Idaho Steelheads News Release


BOISE, Idaho - The Idaho Steelheads announced today that three former players, Jeremy Mylymok, Marty Flichel and Justin Cox, will attend this season's training camp and vie for a spot on the 2005-06 opening day roster.

Mylymok, 33, will enter into his sixth season with Idaho. The 6'0", 200-pound defenseman has three championships under his belt; the last as captain of the 2003-04 ECHL Kelly Cup Champion Idaho Steelheads. He was also an integral part of the Chicago Wolves team that won the 1998 and 2000 International Hockey League (IHL) Turner Cups. While on Idaho's roster, Mylymok was named the 2001 West Coast Hockey League (WCHL) Defenseman of the Year and was named to the 1st Team on the WCHL's All Star roster.

Flichel, selected by the Dallas Stars in round 9, #228 overall in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, scored 67 points (32 goals, 35 assists) in 62 games for Idaho during the 2002-03 season and tallied 15 points (5 goals, 10 assists) 20 games with Idaho last season. In addition to playing with Idaho in the WCHL and ECHL, the 29-year-old has played in the Western Hockey League (WHL), International Hockey League (IHL), British Elite League (BISL), and United Hockey League (UHL). The 5'11", 195-pound forward was named to the 1995-96 All-Star Team with Kelowna (WHL).

Cox, selected by the Dallas Stars in round 6, #184 overall in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, began the 2004-05 season with Idaho and played in 17 games with the ECHL team, notching 8 points (4 goals, 4 assists). The 6'0", 180-pound British Columbia native, was called up to the Utah Grizzlies (formerly Idaho's American Hockey League affiliate) and spent the majority of the season there seeing action in 54 games and earning 6 points (5 goals, 1 assist). Prior to last season, the 24-year-old right winger played three full seasons with Utah (AHL, 2001-04), and four seasons in the WHL (1997-2001).
