After impressing in the 2021 Elite Series, Sheffield Steelers have penned defenseman Adrian Saxrud-Danielsen to a contract for season 2021/22.

The big Norwegian scored two goals and assisted on eight others in the series, ended at +19, and joined the Steelers after spending the season in Austria with Innsbruck of the ICE Hockey League. He'd previously played his hockey in Norway with the exception of a season in Denmark and Sweden, and a year in the QMJHL.

"I’m really excited to get Saxy back in Orange. He’s an excellent two-way defenseman who can play a physical-heavy game but also skates extremely well," explained Head Coach Aaron Fox.

"He’s extremely professional, a good teammate and takes really good care of himself, he plays the game the right way and loved his time here, he is very much excited to get back to Sheffield for a full season."
