Steve Silverthorn joins former coach in Schwenningen

Following the financial demise of Bad Tölz of the German Bundesliga, Canadian goalie Steve Silverthorn has followed his coach from the past season and signed to play with the Schwenningen Wild Wings next season. The Goalie of the Year in the league this past season, Silverthorn helped Bad Tölz to a second place finish but because the team declared bankruptcy they were not permitted to take part in the league play-offs and have been banished to the Oberliga next season. The Owen Sound, Ontario native had a 2.09 GAA in 45 games this past season.
