Barlow, Myers Bound for Boise

BOISE, ID – Idaho head coach Derek Laxdal announced Tuesday that former Cornell forward Evan Barlow and former Quinnipiac forward Chris Myers have agreed to terms with the ECHL’s Steelheads. Barlow and Myers will report to training camp with the Steelheads on October 3.

Barlow, 23, was named Cornell’s Most Valuable Player after scoring 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) last season with the Big Red. Myers, also 23, tallied 19 career goals at Quinnipiac. Neither Barlow nor Myers has appeared in a professional game.

“These are pretty versatile kids who can play either wing,” Laxdal said. “That’ll give us some good depth up front, which we didn’t really have last season.”

Training camp for the Steelheads opens on October 3 at Qwest Arena in Boise.
