BOISE, ID – The Idaho Steelheads (@Steelheads), proud ECHL (@ECHL) affiliate of the Dallas Stars (@DallasStars), and President Eric Trapp announced today that the Steelheads will retire Lance Galbraith’s jersey number 71 on December 17 before Idaho faces Rapid City at the Idaho Central Arena at 7:10 p.m.
