COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The Columbia Inferno have signed former
Dartmouth defenseman Sean Offers, head coach and director of hockey
operations Troy Mann announced today.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Offers returns to North America after
having split the 2006-07 season between Kaufbeuren ESV of the
German Bundesliga and Miesbach TEV of the German Oberliga. The
24-year-old scored one goal in seven games with Kaufberen ESV
before moving on to Miesbach TEV, where he recorded 15 points (six
goals, nine assists) in 27 games.
"Sean gives us another puck-moving defenseman who is a great skater
and who possesses very good skills," Mann said. "He adds good size
to our defensive corps, and he has the ability to contribute on
both the power play and penalty kill units."
Prior to playing in Germany, the St. Albert, Alberta native played
four seasons with Dartmouth (2002-06). Offers tallied 49 points (10
goals, 39 assists) and 186 penalty minutes in 131 games with the
Big Green.
The Columbia Inferno's regular-season home opener is Friday, Oct.
26 against the Augusta Lynx.
