Ex-Seawolf Steward Signs With Augusta (ECHL)

One of the all-time good guys, former UAA Seawolves forward Dallas Steward, has signed with the Augusta Lynx.

Steward, 28, who played at UAA from 2000-2004, hooked up with the ECHL team earlier this week.

Steward, who will be a fifth-year pro, earned 2-2--4 totals in 15 games last season for the ECHL's Charlotte Checkers. He played two seasons before than with ECHL Pensacola -- if memory serves, he broke his ankle late in the 2006-07 season, which may account for his limited action last season -- and one season for Tulsa of the Central Hockey League.

At UAA, Steward bagged 15 goals as a senior and had 27-32--59 totals in 138 career games. Plus, he was one of the most earnest, nice people you'll ever meet, which is probably a quality that produced the following quote from Lynx coach John Marks on the Augusta web site:

“Dallas brings leadership and speed to our club. He’s a very competitive, very team-oriented guy who’s willing to do what it takes to win hockey games.”
