Rob Linsmayer agreed to terms for a fourth full season with the ECHL hockey team, head coach Neil Graham announced Tuesday.

Linsmayer, 26, set career highs in goals (21), assists (36) and points (57) last season, leading the Steelheads in assists and points while placing third in goals — a tally that included four multi-goal games and a hat trick March 25 against Colorado. His plus-22 rating was second on the club.

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound forward has 40 goals and 56 assists in 135 regular-season games for the Steelheads.

Idaho hosts Utah on Oct. 11 at CenturyLink Arena in Boise for a preseason game reserved for season-ticket holders. The regular season begins Oct. 14.
