New Yorker Steve Birnstill is on Sheffield Steelers coach Ryan Finnerty’s shopping list.


Finnerty still has a hole to fill on his Arena blue line and has been negotiating with the 6ft 2in left-shot.

The 26-year-old has played his last three seasons in Denmark and is ready for a change of scene.

Before that Birnstill had a brief spell with AHL side Peoria Rivermen.

The Star and BIH has reported this now....makes it look like it isn't happening if they're saying it

Jon Pelle has updated his twitter page, says he's really excited about our newest signing and that sheffield will like their too.

Good news hopefully for Giants fans and it sounds like Birnstill may end in Sheffield as he's a good friend of Pelle so Pelle bigging him up.
