Sheffield Steelers Head Coach Aaron Fox has added his first import to his 2021 Elite Series roster with the signing of Norwegian Adrian Saxrud Danielsen.

The 28-year-old defenseman spent 2021/22 with Innsbruck in the ICE Hockey League where he notched four points in 34 games.

Prior to moving to Austria, Danielsen spent two seasons with Lillehammer in Norway, and has also had spells in Denmark and Sweden. 

"Adrian is a big two-way defensive who skates extremely well," said Fox. "He likes to play a physical game and prides himself on being a shutdown defenseman. He has shown some offensive upside in Norway and I expect him to play in all situations when hooking up with us in a few weeks’ time.

"Most importantly he’s a true professional with high character and is coming here with a mindset to win and showcase his game. I’m looking forward to having him here in Sheffield".
